Employment Law and Litigation

Our practice’s main priority is to help our clients avoid employment litigation. We pursue this objective by providing advice and counseling to management that minimizes the risk of litigation. Our practice covers matters such as employment contracts, employment discrimination, harassment and retaliation, privacy rights, defamation, statutory protections against wrongful discharges, and others. In addition, our practice covers matters such as, international employment agreements, employee lease agreements, reorganization and reductions in force, non-competition agreements and other restrictive covenants, social media issues, trade secrets, confidentiality agreements, among others.

While we frequently advise clients on preventive and cost-effective alternatives, civil litigation is often unavoidable and is a significant part of our practice. We believe that when faced with employment litigation, employers need fast, effective, and focused legal assistance. Our employment lawyers have an outstanding track record of winning cases at the summary judgment stage and substantial experience defending employers in trials before juries, judges and arbitrators in Puerto Rico.
