Led out of Guayaquil and Quito by Marcelo Torres and Patricio Peña Romero, respectively, the labour practice at Noboa, Peña & Torres, Abogados focuses on employment contracts and terminations, with further emphasis on contentious and mediation processes. The team is also well versed in collective bargaining agreements and communication with trade unions. Torres specialises in labour matters arising out of M&A transactions, while Peña Romero – a member of the board of directors of the Ecuadorian American Chamber of Commerce in Quito – advises clients on several aspects of employment law. Associate Juan Soria is another key contact in Guayaquil, active in social security matters. The department welcomed associate Alejandra Cháves, who joined in July 2022 from the specialised labour chamber of the National Court of Justice.
