Pizá Abogados is a labour law boutique that is structured in separate, specialised practice groups for consultancy and litigation in the area. On the consultancy side, internal audits, employment document reviews, compliance evaluation and risk prevention are all key components. Enrique Ballesteros Alvarado heads that sub-group and has been particularly active for finance sector clients recently. For dispute resolution, managing partner Gabriel Pizá is a specialist in individual and collective high-risk litigation and constitutes a reference point in the market for such work. Pizá co-leads the litigation department with Alejandro Díaz, an expert in amparo trials and their procedures before collegiate courts and the Supreme Court. May 2022 partner appointment Pamela Bello Zárate is a name to note for risk prevention and human resources counsel; while at associate level, Susana Flores Verlón and Fernando López Soriano are the key contacts.

‘The way in which the partners attend to us in each consultation is exceptional and understand our needs first-hand in order to provide us with solutions. The tracking of cases and issues is also unique. It is a diverse team. The way in which team members collaborate with each other significantly enriches the solutions and consultations with which they support us. They know the authorities directly and attend first-hand all the processes that we assign to them.’
