Bucaramanga-based boutique Pilonieta Alvarez Abogados Laboralistas finds favour for the ‘dedication and effort it puts into each task’. The team is also distinguished by its alliance with national labour and employment firm Chapman Wilches, which provides access to four additional platforms across Colombia. The group has strong offerings in collective bargaining, occupational health and safety issues and labour litigation, but it is equipped to advise on the full array of labour market matters. Eduardo Pilonieta Pinilla ’demonstrates mastery of labour legislation’, while Patricia Álvarez Ribero is also sought after for her extensive experience. Senior associates Diana Sepúlveda Reyes and Diana Carolina Ortiz Vargas are additionally recommended.
