Clyde & Co was launched further to the August 2022 merger between Grasty Quintana Majlis (previously already in association with London-headquartered Clyde & Co) and Halpern Pino. With ‘high-level technical knowledge in labour matters’, the labour and employment department’s recent track record covers collective bargaining processes and union negotiations, as well as Covid-19-related reorganisations, terminations and lawsuits. Heading the group, labour law expert Christian Alvarado is ’a great professional’, who routinely advises on employee, employer and union relations. Within the associate pool, senior Agustin Alcalde is a labour law specialist, while Lily Torrejón advises companies on labour relations.
