Lawyers in Brigard Urrutia’s labour and employment group are ‘agile and very effective in their responses and deliverables’, according to some. The wider firm’s corporate prowess ensures that the team is routinely called upon to advise on M&A due diligence, while it also handles collective bargaining, social security issues, labour audits and litigation. Catalina Santos heads the department and handles a comprehensive range of collective and individual labour law matters; she successfully represented Signify Colombia in employment litigation brought by a former employee requesting reliquidation of all employment accruals. The team additionally draws on the experience of two recently promoted (January 2024) practice directors: Camilo Mutis and Daniela Caicedo are well versed across a mix of corporate support, advisory and contentious matters. Associate Rafael Reyes is also singled out by clients.
