Labor

We advise multinational and national companies operating under the Costa Rican Free Trade Zone Regime and outside thereof, in all labor matters.

 

We provide legal advice to private companies in all regulatory and legal matters, including the preparation of contracts and labor regulations, the creation and implementation of adequate mechanisms for the resolution of labor conflicts and advice for the management of workers.

 

Employment contracts, oral or written, must ensure the interests of the organization, but also align with the fundamental rights of the worker, so it is important to take legal advice in the preparation and signing of employment contracts.
