Partner of Carey and co-head of the Labour and the Construction and Engineering Groups.
With ‘deep knowledge of the different aspects of labour law’, full-service law firm Carey houses a 16-strong team that is sought out by both local and international companies for labour and employment advice. The group’s work scope ranges from corporate employment issues to labour litigation, union matters, and immigration and global mobility matters; recent mandates include cases before the Labour Courts regarding wrongful dismissals, sexual harassment allegations, violations of fundamental rights, anti-union practices, and work-related accidents. Co-heading the group, Oscar Aitken‘s practice incorporates collective bargaining, internal investigations, outsourcing, terminations, benefits, and compensation structures; Francisca Corti (’great leadership and vision‘) specialises in employment and corporate immigration law; and recently-raised partner Francisco Arce predominantly assists employers with employment issues, union matters and collective bargaining, social security and labour litigation. At associate level, Valentina Kuscevic, Carla Karzulovic and Constanza Trisotti are all up-and-coming young practitioners of note. Since publication, Kuscevic has been promoted to counsel - effective as of November 2023.
