Labor and Social Security

Argentina has a very complex system of labor law and social security laws. Handling cases in this area requires not only a high degree of specialization but also creativity, since the needs of employers must comply with a regulatory system that remains inflexible in many respects.

 Our services aim at preventing conflicts and negotiate amicable solutions, whether the matter be individual or collective in nature.

 Our advisory services include assistance with individual labor disputes; collective bargaining agreements and labor contracts; collective labor disputes, including management of work stoppages and other union-led actions; dismissal of key personnel; employment contracts for top management, including incentive and benefit packages; advice concerning contracts of expatriate personnel; designing and implementing personnel policies, including incentive programs, and the restructuring of parent companies’ compensation packages to conform to local regulations; and designing and implementing downsizing policies, and the winding up of operations.
