Katy Noriega

Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría’s robust, 18-strong, employment practice routinely provides counsel to a deep roster of clients across key industrial sectors, particularly as regards collective bargaining, recruitment, civil contracting, outsourcing, and employment termination. The team is co-led by veteran practitioner César Gonzales Hunt, a constant market presence who is known for his proficiency in preventive counselling and collective bargaining agreements; and Lidia Vilchez, who specialises in recruitment matters, civil contracting, outsourcing, workplace health and safety, and sexual harassment prevention. Partner emeritus Jaime Zavala provides additional senior input, particularly as regards collective bargaining and labour-related arbitration. The practice of principal associate Alicia Jiménez has both advisory and contentious aspects, mixing both labour consultancy with management of the practice area's litigious caseload. Fellow principal, Katy Noriega also combines labour consultancy, inspections and litigation (with a particular niche in sexual harassment and equal pay policy matters), while senior associate Silvia Rebaza is recommended for occupational safety and health issues, sexual harassment prevention, and immigration.
