The labour and employment practice at DG&A-Abogados is composed of lawyers with a ‘deep understanding of the subject, both theoretically and practically’, according to some. The team acts for a diverse mix of domestic and multinational companies, with leading retail chain D1 and technology giant IBM de Colombia among its marquee clients — it also represents employers in the industrial and life sciences spheres. Adriana Martínez and Karin Rojas co-lead the department and specialise in advisory work and litigation, respectively.
