More informationMore information

The ‘highly trusted’ seven-member labour, employment and migration practice at Guerrero Olivos covers pre-emptive labour advice, disputes, and M&A and reorganisation-related labour issues.

In migratory and expatriate matters, the team is highly active in relation to the mining and energy industries. Heading the department, the ’accurate and highly knowledgeable’ Rocío García de la Pastora’s workload incorporates labour litigation, collective bargaining, and corporate labour issues; and within the associate ranks, Tomás Garnham is ‘empathetic, efficient and always available’, while Sergio Fuica is an expert in fundamental rights and labour disputes.
