Our Firm is known for its unique capability of understanding client’s needs and finding positive solutions that work within local legislation and striving to avoid litigation.

Our Team has been very effective in providing employment audits to uncover and address potential problems before lawsuits and administrative actions surface in order to the labor relationship.

We have extensive experience handling day to day issues concerning individual employment relationships, such as  labor contracts, internal labor regulations, issues relating to profit sharing payment, and general advising on compliance with Ecuador’s labor regulations.

With this impressive track record, our team handles cases and litigation around the country, including major cities in Ecuador and cities relevant to the oil and mining industries.  We also have a solid presence in the Galápagos Islands.

Our services include:

  • Labor and employment audits.
  • We work closely with our litigation department to successfully handle labor issues, including complaints for unjustified dismissals, occupational accidents, and other related issues to the labor relationship.
  • Advising for employers on how to best structure their businesses in terms of employment strategies.
