Rodrigo, Elías & Medrano Abogados' 18-strong labour team continues to provide comprehensive assistance to clients on a diverse range of employment matters. Typical recent mandates include representing clients in litigation against unions, navigating the implementation of remote work initiatives post-Covid-19, and offering counsel on administrative and judicial proceedings stemming from employment relations. Practice co-head Mario Pasco focuses on collective bargaining, litigation and auditing/taxation cases; while co-chair José Balta is a labour law expert and routinely handles immigration, workplace discrimination, contracting and lay-off processes. Providing additional partner-level input, Ernesto Cárdenas is noted for regularly assisting clients with large payrolls develop strategies for defining work-and-tax structures related to worker benefits. At associate level, seniors Claudia Cermeno (individual and collective labour law, social security, and health and safety at work); and Mariana González-Prada (labour and employment, immigration and social security matters) provide key support.
