Litigation is the cornerstone of the practice at labour law boutique Bufete Godinez y Asociados, which stands out for its ability to act as a ‘strategic ally’ to both prominent national and multinational companies and high-profile individuals. Recent highlights demonstrate the firm’s skill in complex cases (including class actions) relating to issues from overtime pay and severance calculations to workplace harassment and discriminatory dismissals. In addition, the team provides comprehensive advice on non-contentious labour matters. Founding partner Alexander Godínez Vargas remains the first port of call for key players in the retail, banking, insurance, telecoms, and food and beverages sectors. At associate level, José Miguel Granados oversees the litigation department, Isabel Jaramillo coordinates the counselling and advisory division and Francisco Bolaños assists on the disputes side.
