With strong experience in navigating complex labour relationships between employer and employee, the practitioners at Lexvalor Abogados are entrusted by local clients and large tech companies alike and are recognised for offering ‘highly specialised advice on topics such as contracting, collective bargaining and regulatory compliance’. In addition to its day-to-day labour law advice, the group’s labour law expertise also extends to obtaining visas for multinational clients, a key area for Carlos Carrión, who oversees the immigration law section of the department. Practice head Karla Villacís is well versed in social security law, occupational hazards and labour litigation, as is José Endara Madera. The pair ‘have demonstrated exceptional skill in negotiating labour disputes’ and are supported at the associate level by Vanessa Gómez Mosquera, who is engaged in some of the group’s large scale litigation.
