Gómez-Acebo & Pombo‘s employment team is geared to handle collective negotiations, M&A transactions, hiring proceedings, and employment contracts. Heading up the department is Ignacio Del Fraile who stands out for his breadth of expertise which ranges from litigation to remuneration schemes, while Carlos de la Torre concentrates on employment inspections. Borja González is adept in restructuring, while Lourdes Escassi and Carmen Abad are among other notable names in the practice. The practice was strengthened by the arrival of social security specialist Pablo Santos from EY Abogados in late 2024.
