Employment and Social Security Law

Labor and Social Security Law is a cross-cutting legal area applicable to all companies — public or private — as well as to all individuals. In this regard, Cavaleiro Machado & Associados has brought together the necessary expertise to provide legal counsel and representation to its clients.

Our legal services range from drafting and negotiating individual employment contracts to advising on collective dismissals and the elimination of job positions; conducting or defending disciplinary proceedings; and handling labor litigation. In the area of collective bargaining, we provide legal support to both trade unions and companies, as well as employers’ associations. We also represent clients in administrative proceedings involving labor-related fines, including those imposed by Social Security and other competent authorities.
