Labor and Social Security Law
In today’s competitive economic landscape, optimizing workforce management is crucial for a business’s financial health. The 2017 Labor Reform brought significant changes to labor relations and opportunities for companies, such as bonus payments, mutual termination agreements, out-of-court settlements, collective bargaining, and outsourcing.
It is essential to have the technical knowledge to adapt to these new legal standards.
Our firm has a team of labor law specialists for companies. We have the expertise to carry out preventive actions to minimize risks and judicial litigation to reduce labor liabilities and resolve disputes cost-effectively.
Our main services include:
We have experienced professionals defending companies in labor judicial matters, including indemnity actions, infraction notices, or notifications. With over 25 years of expertise, we have in-depth knowledge of labor precedents. Our team bases all actions on the most appropriate strategies for each situation.
We advise companies on actions resulting from workplace accidents or diseases where the company is held judicially or administratively responsible. Our team focuses on assisting in administrative defenses before the Labor Superintendence, the Labor Prosecutor’s Office, the Social Security Appeals Council, and implementing preventive actions within the corporate environment.
We provide consultancy to ensure compliance with eSocial (a Brazilian government system for unifying the reporting of employer and employee information), labor and social security legislation, and required primary and ancillary obligations. Constant changes in labor and social security laws, as well as evolving judicial interpretations, can impact the company’s health, so our team is always ready and updated to provide support.
We manage relationships between companies and their respective unions. Our firm assists in negotiations between employer and labor unions to set dispute values and draft collective labor agreements and conventions.
We conduct preventive consultancy and in-company training with the Human Resources department on labor and social security legislation, occupational safety and health standards. Additionally, we assist in executive compensation with company dividends, profit-sharing programs, and bonuses, ensuring a compensation plan that complies with legal requirements.
