Employment law for employees
If your employer has lawyers, you should have lawyers too.
Introduction
Every employment situation is different, but they all have one thing in common: your rights deserve a robust defence from day one. At our firm we advise and represent you in any employment dispute, always looking for the most effective way to protect your interests.
As employment lawyers in Asturias, we act on dismissals, disciplinary sanctions, wage and remuneration claims, changes to working conditions, disability, workplace accidents, Social Security benefits and any proceedings before the Employment Courts.
Our aim is not just to solve a problem but to help you make decisions with confidence, walking you through every step and designing a strategy that fits your case. Because a good defence begins long before the hearing.
What we do
Strategy
ahead of reaction.
We stand by employees through every stage of an employment dispute, from the first piece of advice to litigation before the Employment Courts. We analyse each case individually to offer a legal strategy that fits your circumstances and is built to protect your rights.
Our role is to prevent mistakes, negotiate when possible and defend your interests firmly when the dispute has to be taken to court.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
As soon as possible. Many employment decisions are subject to very short deadlines, especially regarding dismissals and sanctions. Early advice helps you protect your rights more effectively.
Even if you have signed a settlement, an agreement or any other document from your employer, you may still have grounds to claim. We review every case to determine whether any rights remain enforceable.
Not always. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation or in the pre-trial conciliation hearing. Where no agreement is possible, we defend your interests before the courts.
It is helpful to bring your employment contract, payslips, any dismissal or sanction letter, communications from your employer and any documents related to the dispute.
Our firm is based in Asturias, but we can advise and act on employment matters anywhere in Spain when the case allows.
