With ‘great knowledge and experience in labour law and jurisprudence’, UH&C Abogados' eight-strong labour and employment practice is routinely mandated by clients from the retail, construction and insurance sectors. The team covers both labour-related advisory work and disputes in relation to fundamental rights, unions, and sexual and labour harassment investigations. The group’s principal figures are Marcelo Soto, who has extensive experience in complex labour litigation, in addition to advising companies on labour and employment law; and David Tortello, whose litigation practice encompasses dismissals, violations of fundamental rights, workplace accidents, occupational disease, union issues, and administrative fines and claims before the Chilean Labour Inspectorate.
