Labor Relations

We advise local and foreign companies on Philippine labor standards and practices, as well as general and specific risks. This includes preparation of employment contracts, manuals, and memoranda that consider special rules and practices, after considering the nuances of each client’s business. We also provide guidance on internal labor proceedings, including mediation, collective bargaining, strikes and lockouts, and disciplinary procedures.

We represent clients in labor litigation, if the need therefore arises. That includes representation in actions before the Labor Arbiters, voluntary arbitrators, and appellate proceedings.
