Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría fields a ‘tremendously experienced team’ in Santiago. The full-service, international firm’s labour and employment law practice is highly experienced in labour-related advisory work, litigation and collective bargaining. The nine-strong group’s expertise ranges from new areas such as diversity and AI, to more traditional labour subjects, including hirings, terminations (mass lay-offs, office closures and senior executives’ severance), HR company policies, discrimination prevention, internal harassment investigations, and privacy and fundamental rights. The practice further assists with due diligence, internal employment audits, restrictive covenants, subcontracting, labour taxation, union relations, and compensation and benefits packages. The group is co-led by Paulina Miranda, an adviser on international employment law, incentive plans, gig economy issues, AI, data privacy, internal investigations and compliance, who ’has extensive experience in labour matters and great negotiation skills’; and labour and social security law expert Sergio Montes, who has notable experience in high-stakes labour trials, collective bargaining processes, and conflicts between companies and their employees and unions. In the firm’s senior associate pool, Aref Cosma acts for major companies from the mining, forestry, agriculture, retail, and technology sectors on general employment matters, as well as the employment law side to domestic and cross-border M&A and reorganisations.
