Caiado Guerreiro has an excellent department with vast experience in the labour area giving day-to-day advice on all matters pertaining to labour issues as well as related litigation before the labour courts to a large number of companies, including many multinational companies.

Our law firm has developed expertise in those areas that are increasingly important to our clients, such as employee benefits, flexibility of employment contracts, organisation of work time, wage structure, pensions and other models of retirement protection and benefits. In accordance with the gradually increasing flexibility of Portuguese labour law, our firm has been involved in some of the major restructuring processes of the Portuguese economy, including several collective dismissal procedures based on structural or technological grounds and lay-off procedures.

The firm’s Employment department also has vast experience derived from its permanent involvement in mergers and acquisitions transactions, “outsourcing” and transfers of facilities, departments or branches.

The Employment and Social Security Law department of Caiado Guerreiro is recognised by the main international directories, amongst which Legal 500, Chambers & Partners and ACQ 5.
