Labour & Employment

Day-to-day employment advice, reorganisations and litigation for employers in Costa Rica, with documents in English and Spanish.

Employing people may mean having to assume unexpected costs for labour benefits or unbudgeted social security charges, as a result of incorrect labour practices.

To prevent this type of contingency it is necessary to implement a preventive labour practice, through which the employer asserts its rights within the framework of legality and respecting the rights of its workers.

In this way it is possible to achieve greater efficiency, as well as to control and prevent significant economic losses. We have a team of attorneys expert in labour law, litigation management and dispute resolution.

That experience allows us to identify risks effectively and to provide prompt, practical and effective solutions.

Regardless of the type of activity they carry out, our clients can benefit from the following services:

Permanent preventive and corrective assistance in employment matters.
Diagnosis and advice on labour practices, and assistance in reducing and controlling risks.
