(Next Generation Partners)Baker McKenzie S.A.S. impresses with its ‘high level of up-to-date knowledge in the face of changes in labour law’. The practice handles a comprehensive range of advisory, contentious, and corporate support matters, with the ability to plug into its wider regional — and global — employment platform for support in multi-jurisdictional matters. Department co-head Tatiana Garcés provides support that is ‘above and beyond’ and is noted for her broad practice that spans labour law, employee benefits, social security and occupational health, among other matters. Fellow group head Evelyn Romero advises on a wide scope of employment and immigration issues and notably leads the immigration practice for Latin America.

Associates Natalia Suarez and Alexandra Silveira left for Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA) and Velocity Global, respectively, in August 2022.
