Labour Law 

Panama’s labour relations are regulated by a Labour Code, as well as ancillary laws and decrees, which set forth the rights and obligations of labour and management. These include the right of labour to form unions, strike and enter into collective bargaining agreements. This is a specialised area in which the Firm is very well equipped to assist: its managing partner, Luis Shirley, is one of the authors of the Labour Code.

We have assisted its clients by advising as to the requirements of the Labour Code and assisting in the negotiations of collective bargaining agreements between management and labour. The Firm is also experienced in drafting employment contracts, preparing and processing work permit applications, and representing clients in labour disputes
