Praised for its ‘strategic and comprehensive vision to solve problems’, and its ’proven knowledge of labour laws‘, Bustamante Fabara acts in both contentious and non-contentious IP matters. Its client base includes local companies and multinational retail brands based in Latin America, and its advice extends to labour risk due diligence processes and the termination of labour agreements. On the contentious side, the firm assists with collective bargaining agreements and dismissals, also displaying a specialism in the avoidance of both individual and collective litigation. It also continues to work on labour law issues stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic, such as contractual issues. Such contentious matters are frequently undertaken by senior associate Vanessa Granizo, who specialises in termination disputes. Seasoned litigators Patricia Ponce and Francisco Vacas, who often deals with collective claims, lead the group and are adept in administrative claims related to social security.
