The practice is consistently sought out to advise on labour law matters, including corporate advice, collective bargaining, and labour and tax compliance; and in litigation, the group acts in disputes concerning unjust dismissals, fundamental rights, anti-union practices, and annulment appeals. The ‘highly competent' founding partner and lead partner Luis Lizama is a labour and social security law specialist (and former Labour Directorate legal head); ’first-rate professional' Osvaldo Parada is the firm’s director of collective bargaining; Esteban Palma is labour litigation director; Diego Lizama Castro is director of corporate matters; and Paula Warnier is compliance director.
