With a niche focus on the aviation sector, Augusta Abogados has considerable experience advising airlines in a wide array of labour and employment mandates, both contentious and non-contentious. The team is particularly adept at assisting with collective bargaining agreements and litigation, and also offers advice on day-to-day operations. Leading the practice is the ‘standout’ Juan José Hita Fernández, who is well-versed in disputes, restructurings, and industrial action. He works alongside Omar Molina García, Mattia Cardinali, and Carlos Pareja.
