BLP’s labour and employment team leverages the firm’s strong footprint across Central America to advise major regional and multinational companies, including well-known names in the retail, hospitality, telecoms and financial sectors, among others. The firm is well equipped to assist with employment issues relating to company restructurings and the closure of clients' operations in Honduras, as well as hirings, disciplinary procedures, and labour disputes and conciliation proceedings with the Ministry of Labour. Corporate immigration matters, including obtaining residency permits, also remain a core area of focus. Adolfo Pineda, who has a wealth of experience in labour and global mobility and relocation issues, oversees the practice. The group is supported by senior associates Jorge Kafati and San Pedro Sula-based Cynthia Chavarría, and associate Gabriela Díaz.
