It is quite common for our labor law experts to participate in the negotiation, drafting and extinguishment of employment contracts. They have vast experience in collective bargaining, in the design of strategies to confront labor disputes, and in corporate restructuring such as contract suspension, collective layoffs, changes in working conditions, bankruptcy dockets and all related matters.
