With significant experience in individual and collective labour relations, Robalino advises on a range of employment matters, from work-related illnesses and accidents to collective bargaining agreements and workforce restructurings. Practice head Luis Carlos Fernández is skilled in labour disputes, union negotiations and collective agreements. Key support is provided by senior associate Melissa Arroyo, who brings together expertise in labour law and administrative litigation. The practice was further strengthened in May 2024 by the arrival of Diego Palacios Brito – formerly a partner at Pérez Bustamante & Ponce – as of counsel; his broad practice covers corporate, contractual, labour, immigration and administrative law matters.
