With a solid footprint in the Minas Gerais market, Azevedo Sette Advogados' labour team advises on both contentious and advisory matters, including complex litigation and strategic employment planning. The team, which is regularly retained by multinationals with operations in the region, frequently handles high-stakes disputes such as collective actions and injunctions, while also supporting clients on HR policies, due diligence for M&A transactions, and hiring and termination issues. This comprehensive capability is a reflection of its co-heads, Leila Azevedo Sette, Luanna Vieira de Lima Costa, and Gustavo Magalhães Assis, who all bring extensive, shared experience across the full spectrum of employee, labour relations, and social security matters.
