Labor Law

When it comes to problem solving, we are second to none in Puerto Rico, achieving winning outcomes – and setting precedents — on behalf of our clients.

Above all, we enjoy close relationships with our clients, who view us as trusted members of their teams who not only understand labor issues but also have a profound understanding of their companies’ workplace requirements. We actively advise our clients on every facet of their businesses – from drafting personnel policies to engaging in complex collective bargaining, while our day-to-day guidance encompasses everything from compliance to prevention. By calling on colleagues we are able to offer clients truly comprehensive counsel covering all aspects of their employer-employee relationships.

We successfully:

Defend employers in class action and multiparty employment cases, including discrimination, wage and hour violations, and ERISA violations, as well as complex whistle-blowers’ protection, sexual harassment, retaliation, defamation, and libel and slander cases.

Handle first impression cases regarding the definition of a disabled person, the employer’s duty to accommodate an employee with a disability, and the workers’ compensation employment leave and right to reinstatement.

Counsel on serious wage and hour challenges to the meal-period reduction and compensable time for donning and doffing.

Handle claims-free reductions in force and plant closings.

Negotiate high profile collective bargaining agreements.

Advise on strike administration and injunction relief to protect management rights.

Maintain an excellent approvals rate before the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

In every engagement, our clients benefit from the knowledge and experience of our credentialed attorneys.
