Labour regulation is a core part of Moreno Ruffinelli & Asociados‘ employment practice: the team advises on labour laws and administrative labour regulations and represents clients before the labour authorities. The firm’s diverse clientele of national and international clients spans the full range of industries and sees the practice handle cross-border employment matters. As well as contracts, permits and licences and HR policies, the team is experienced in sensitive labour issues, such as terminations. Practice head José Moreno Ruffinelli leads the team in its advice to major clients, such as Manpower. Maria Del Rocio Penayo Zarza is another name to note, playing a key role in the team, and leading on cross-border matters involving employees with expat status. At the junior level, María Inés Segura advises on social security matters, healthcare benefits and maternity leave, and Jorge Enciso is active in collective bargaining and union matters.
