Aguilar Castillo Love

Aguilar Castillo Love's labour practice is singled out for its ‘combination of technical excellence, regional strategic vision and a genuinely client-oriented approach’. The firm’s core strengths lie in labour compliance and investigations, disputes and audits in the context of M&A and reorganisations, with a client base that includes prominent regional and international companies. In particular, the team is skilled in post-M&A workforce restructurings, including handling sensitive issues such as mass layoffs, in addition to high-profile labour litigation and conciliation proceedings involving high-level executives. Regional practice head Álvaro Aguilar, who attracts strong praise for his ’sound legal judgement and strategic approach’, enjoys a strong reputation for labour compliance issues, including executive dismissals. Other key names at top-level are Andrea Sáenz, an expert in mass terminations and in the free trade zone regime, seasoned labour litigator Eric Romero, and Mary Ann Drake, who focuses on labour consultancy and non-contentious administrative processes. Associate Gloriana Lara Ramos provides capable support.
