Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘We place our total trust in Serrate Paz in labour issues, since its team has technical and practical knowledge. It stands out from the rest because it does not limit itself to pointing out what the norm says but rather its advice is based on the criteria of the Ministry of Labor, judges, psychology of workers or unions. This is very difficult to obtain from a law firm.’

Second, when it comes time to solve a problem, she has the ability to negotiate with the employer or union in such a way that we avoid several litigations. Her knowledge of labour law is impressive, allowing us to provide immediate answers to our queries.’
