Baker McKenzie S.A.S.

The commercially oriented labour and employment offering at Baker McKenzie S.A.S. scores highly for its ‘understanding of business complexity’. Among its other key attributes, the group stands out for its ability to plug into the wider firm’s global practice, which marks it as a popular choice to represent multinational companies on local labour and employment issues. Particularly noted for its activity in high-level cases, the team’s recent highlights include supporting employers on cross-border business restructurings, large-scale employee terminations and collective bargaining negotiations. Department co-head Tatiana Garcés provides advice that is ’clear and comprehensive’; she recently advised Broadcom on terminating the employment of almost 70 employees following the closure of its Colombian entity. Evelyn Romero co-leads the team and recently advised a multinational on the labour and employment aspects of the carve-out of one of its business segments. The group also draws on up-and-coming partner Daniela Liévano, whose recent work has been mainly concentrated in the litigation area. Recommended associates include Gabriela Delgado, who was promoted to senior in July 2024 and co-ordinates the termination and redundancies section; and María Paula Dueñas, who was promoted to senior in January 2025 and heads the constitutional and administrative litigation units for the practice. In September 2024, María Cecilia Reyes left to study abroad.
