DLA Piper Perú's employment team advises clients -particularly those from the mining, industrial, financial and commercial sectors- on unlawful dismissal claims, salary discrimination allegations, and collective bargaining with unions. The team, which also routinely assists with matters related to employee transfers, outsourcing regulations, and health and safety issues, is led by Cecilia Guzmán-Barrón, who is noted for her expertise in inspections, labour procedures, hiring processes and lay-offs. At associate level, senior Flavia Granados assists with hiring, compensation and termination of employment matters; while associates Gustavo Fierro (labour inspections and procedures before SUNAFIL); Alfonso Marreros (individual labour consulting); and María Teresa Cuba (representation in labour proceedings), are all also noted.
