The labour and employment practice at Lefosse Advogados, noted for its ‘technical excellence and commitment to the quality of its services’, advises on administrative and judicial litigation, consultancy matters, and the labour aspects of corporate transactions. The team is particularly adept at handling labour lawsuits, public civil actions, and administrative proceedings promoted by the Labour Prosecutor’s Office, as well as advising on compliance, internal policies, and privatisations. The group has a strong presence across a variety of industries, including healthcare, telecoms, and sanitation, among others. At the helm of the practice is Aloizio Lima, who ’brings together industry knowledge and in-depth technical expertise’, and concentrates on labour litigation. The department also benefits from the aptitude of Paulo Peressin, who was promoted to partner in May 2024 and specialises in disputes, audits, and the labour elements of corporate restructurings.
