O'Neill & Borges

The experienced team at O'Neill & Borges specialises in advising on day-to-day employment matters and representing public and private sector clients (including insurers and domestic and multinational corporates such as Burger King and PepsiCo) involved in complex labour litigation. With a client base spanning the telecoms, food and beverages, hospitality, tech, construction and financial services industries, the group’s full offering covers matters ranging from labour arbitration proceedings, awards review procedures, employment contracts and employment discrimination and harassment claims to privacy rights, statutory protection against wrongful discharges and international employment agreements. The practice is headed by Carlos George, who draws on extensive experience of defending employers in state and federal courts and in employment arbitration, and who brings expertise to union representation matters. Another key figure is Dimitri González, who frequently represents employers in disputes in connection with M&A transactions and administrative claims before the Department of Labour, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the local Anti-Discrimination Unit.
