Press Room

On the occasion of World Environment Day, we would like to share some of the small steps we are taking at our firm to do our bit for the planet: using recycled paper for printouts, recycling paper (with confidential shredding) and plastics, switching to reusable steel water bottles, prioritizing train travel over flights whenever possible, setting responsible office temperatures: no higher than 19°C in winter and no lower than 27°C in summer, unplugging chargers overnight and adding air-purifying plants to our workspaces.

Our colleague Almudena Álvarez attended May 15-17 the most attended ever Half-Year Conference of AIJA (International Association of Young Lawyers) which took place in elegant Milano. More than 530 lawyers from all around the world gathered to network and discuss the last legal trends. She attended the Human Rights Commission Meeting for the first time, which addressed important issues such as the needed protection of the rule of law, and, of course, our regular Employment and Labor Law Commission Meeting. Grazie mille to the entire Organizing Committee and AIJA team for their efforts in organizing such a wonderful event!​

Our colleagues Lucía Castelao and Inés López carried out a training session at HOGAR SÍ on labor law applicable to the daily lives of people facing social exclusion due to homelessness. Among other topics, we addressed: (i) the right of workers to free legal representation, (ii) key elements of employment contracts, (iii) types of dismissal and how to challenge them, and (iv) unemployment benefits. Once again, we would like to highlight the essential work carried out by the RAIS Foundation with those who need it most and thank them for allowing us to be part of it.

Our colleague Almudena Álvarez attended May 4-8 the ABA Labor and Employment Law Committee Midyear Meeting held at The Palace Hotel in the city of Madrid. More than 150 law professionals from around the globe attended the meeting and dove deep into some of today’s most pressing issues: ESG, DEI, digital platform workers, sexual misconduct investigations, etc. Our colleague also had the opportunity to catch up with our AIJA and ELLINT colleagues and showed them around our hometown Madrid!

Our colleagues Inés López and Marta López delivered the seminar "Labor Law Workshop for Women" at the Department of Equality of the city of Torrejón de Ardoz (Centro Polivalente Abogados de Atocha), Comunidad de Madrid. They addressed (i) the different types of employment contracts, (ii) termination process, and (iii) workplace harassment, answering participants' questions and sharing useful information for their daily working lives. Many thanks to the Department of Equality for having us!
