Labor lawyer
We are City Laws, a law firm with 28 years of experience and bilingual service in Spanish and English. We support employees and companies at every stage of labor disputes, providing personalized attention and a clear strategy.
What does an employment lawyer do?
A labor lawyer advises and represents workers and companies in disputes arising from the employment relationship, based on the Federal Labor Law. They review contracts, calculate severance pay and settlements, and provide support both during the conciliation process and in court.
Since the 2019 labor reform, most individual labor disputes first go through mandatory conciliation at the corresponding Conciliation Center and, if no agreement is reached, proceed to the Labor Courts of the Judiciary. A labor lawyer can guide you through each of these steps.

What clients ask most about Labor Lawyer
How long do I have to claim for unfair dismissal?+
The law establishes a two-month period from the date of dismissal to file your claim. Therefore, it's advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible to avoid losing your right to claim. During your initial consultation, we will review the relevant dates in your case.
What is the difference between severance pay and settlement?+
The final settlement includes the proportional parts of the Christmas bonus, vacation pay, vacation bonus, and outstanding wages, and applies to any termination of employment. The settlement also includes the severance pay due when the dismissal is unjustified. We help you calculate each item based on your seniority and salary.
Is mediation mandatory before going to court?+
Yes. Since the labor reform, most individual disputes must first go through a conciliation process at the corresponding Conciliation Center. Only if no agreement is reached does the matter proceed to the Labor Courts.
Do they serve both workers and companies?+
Yes. We advise workers seeking to defend their rights and employers who need to comply with the law and prevent conflicts. In each case, we define a clear strategy and explain your options in simple terms.
