BLP houses a comprehensive labour and employment practice which ranges from representing clients in labour litigation and administrative proceedings before the Ministry of Labour to assistance with regulatory compliance and advice on disciplinary procedures and compensation schemes. Acting as a ‘true business partner’ to an enviable roster of regional and international clients, the team is also skilled in the employment aspects of complex M&A deals and restructurings. Randall González, who is frequently called upon to advise on organisational planning and structuring, labour policies, executive compensation and litigation, steers the practice. The firm also fields a deep bench of junior lawyers, including directors Alexandra Aguilar and Juan José Montero, who are experienced in advising international companies on labour due diligence, compensation and litigation, and senior associate Carla Sánchez, who has a strong background in contentious labour matters.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘BLP has a culture of very personalised service. Their responses time are fast and efficient, and their knowledge of legal issues is extensive, but their answers are always down-to-earth and non-technical, which is very helpful for understanding situations. They are always seeking to understand trends and changes in the market to stay ahead of these issues and share with their clients potential situations they should be aware of.’
‘BLP is a true business partner. They take care to understand the business we work in so they can anticipate our needs.’
‘I think what I would highlight as different from my experience with other firms is the timing of responses to my urgent requests and the fact that their interpretation and recommendations on handling a case are always the same; they don't vary from one day to the next or from one lawyer to another. They are very well coordinated internally.’
‘I work primarily with Randall Gonzalez and Juan José Montero, and what I would highlight about both of them is that they know the company, they make us feel confident, and even if I leave the case and pick it up again days later, they always remember the details and are able to pick it up immediately, as if they were as familiar with what happened as I am.’
'BLP's team of labour law professionals has always been characterised by giving me comprehensive advice so that the decisions I make are always made under the principle of legality, good practices and taking care of the company's reputation. By far, BLP's team of lawyers is better than other firms I have worked with in the past.'
'Professional quality, human warmth and cordial relationships are elements that make BLP's labour law team stand out and differentiate them from competitors. People like Randall González and Carla Sánchez have earned my complete trust through the advice they have given me over the years.'
