Mattos Filho, described by clients as having ‘simply the best labour and employment team in Brazil’, is retained by an impressive and extensive client roster comprised of businesses from across a variety of industries, including technology, aviation, and healthcare, to name a few. With wide sector coverage, the group is adept at handling a range of contentious and non-contentious matters such as class actions, cross-border lawsuits, and collective bargaining. Most notably, the practice is engaged in market-leading work regarding new pay gap regulations and employee relationships in the transport sector, and has deep experience acting before the Brazilian Supreme Court. Domingos Fortunato is a key contact in the department, specialising in class actions, audits, and compensation and benefit plans. The practice also benefits from the expertise of Cleber Venditti, who focuses on class actions, union negotiations, and labour aspects of M&A. Other core members of the team include Rafael de Filippis, recognised for his work involving trade unions, Rafael Caetano, and Érika Seddon. Sólon Cunha and Marilia Veiga Ravazzi are no longer at the firm.
