The ‘competent lawyers' at Souto Correa Advogados are 'prepared to resolve all labour issues’ for national and multinational companies. The team, which is split between São Paulo and Porto Alegre, routinely handles class actions, union negotiation, and individual claims for companies from the worlds of technology, media, retail and manufacturing, among others. The practice is under the joint leadership of four practitioners: Paulo Roberto Souto is skilled in collective bargaining, and matters arising from strikes and mass dismissals; Joel Heinrich Gallo is well-versed in administrative civil actions filed by the Labour Prosecutor’s Office; the 'sharp, strategic and responsive' Patricia Alves often acts in partnership with the corporate practice in due diligence exercises; and Manoela Pascal Martins is singled out for her experience in collective actions and administrative proceedings.
