Practitioners in Posse Herrera Ruiz’s labour and employment team impress with their ‘highly specialised technical knowledge’, according to clients. The group advises a broad mix of domestic and multinational employers across the gamut of related work, including day-to-day advisory matters, collective bargaining negotiations, restructurings, transactional support and litigation. Department head Vicente Umaña, praised for his ’very practical vision’, is experienced in all key pillars of the practice. The group further benefits from a strong bench of non-partners, including talented senior associate María Paula Romero — noted for her ‘in-depth analysis’ — as well as directors Andrea Ochoa and Carolina Castro, and associate Edwin Camargo.
