CMS Grau’s employment and pensions team consistently assists clients from diverse sectors, including real estate, construction, oil and gas, mining, and aviation, with a range of employment-related matters. These range from the development and implementation of labour policies to handling labour disputes related to employment termination, collective bargaining, and the review and update of policies on sexual harassment prevention, equal pay, inclusion, and equity. Cecilia Vargas is the primary contact and regularly handles administrative procedures and judicial labour processes. Moreover, she excels in auditing and training in recruitment, remuneration policies, and the prevention of potential conflicts (including sexual harassment and occupational health and safety). At associate level, Franco Herrera is recognised for his expertise in employment and social security procedural law and Natalia Almonte represents clients in administrative and judicial proceedings, handling individual and collective labour claims and issues related to workplace harassment and occupational health. Former partner Claudia Flecha retired in September 2023.
