The labor relationship is the most everyday legal bond and, at the same time, one of the most sensitive within a company. A mistake in personnel management can result in lawsuits, fines from the Labor Inspection and reputational damage. Good preventive labor advice protects the company, complies with the law and maintains organizational climate.
At Salgado & Sagredo we have represented companies, workers and unions since our founding. That experience on both sides of the labor relationship gives us a comprehensive perspective that benefits all our clients.
