We provide consultancy and assistance with a preventive approach to safeguard contingencies, working in cooperation with the legal, human resources, management and personnel departments of companies. Our work involves quick, daily and direct action with the internal business sectors, efficiently participating in decision-making.
In litigation, our work is divided between administrative proceedings, in which we work with labor inspection and in the experienced conduction of lawsuits filed by the Public Ministry of Labor, and between lawsuits, in which we carry out liability management to reduce financial impacts and that involve issues relevant to our clients. We diagnose the cost-benefit ratio of conflicts, identifying the desirability of maintaining them.
