Headrick Rizik Alvarez & Fernández is ‘the most complete firm on the market’, according to one client, and has notable strength in litigation and alternative dispute resolution, including mediation, in relation to the termination of labour relationships. The group is also well versed in advising on labour benefits policies and drafting labour contracts. Practice head Tomás Hernández is instrumental to the team’s work in this regard, and also regularly advises on internal procedures and handles negotiations with employees’ unions. At junior level, senior associate Federico Pinchinat‘s litigation expertise means that he is a key name to note for labour disputes. Julio Camejo also lends litigation experience to the team.
