CMS Rodríguez-Azuero is recognised for its robust social security and pensions offering, which advises on the full range of day-to-day compliance risks through to high-level matters, such as the implementation of multilateral pension agreements between countries. On the traditional labour and employment front, the team advises on disciplinary proceedings — where it can lean on its white-collar crime practice — as well as regulatory compliance, transactional support and litigation. Highly regarded specialist Adriana Escobar heads the employment and pensions group, while senior associate Valentina Ojeda provides support. In September 2024, senior associate Sandra Mora moved in house at Keralty.
