Marval O’Farrell Mairal

Client Satisfaction

Marval O’Farrell Mairal is renowned for its labour litigation experience and is frequently called on to represent domestic and international clients before all levels of courts as well as the Labour Secretariat. The firm is also known for its expertise in the winding up of the Argentine operations of multinationals; handling union negotiations; and its thorough coverage of non-contentious matters, including the labour aspects of M&A processes and labour compliance. The team also differentiates its proposition with a proprietary software tool that harnesses predicative analytics and assists clients with planning defences in contentious labour matters. The outstanding labour litigator Javier Patrón leads the practice and is ably supported by a strong bench of senior partner talent that includes labour specialist Enrique Stile and Diego Kelly, who is sought out for his track record in the areas of compensation and union matters. Other key partner names include Rodrigo Solá Torino, who leads on immigration matters; seasoned labour litigator José María Llano; and complex labour litigation expert Guillermo Osorio. Associate Paola Forchiassin and senior associate Jorge Rovillard are the main contacts at junior level.
