Tell us a little bit about your practice and what makes it unique.
What common questions are you asked by clients, and what are your answers?
My answers are different according to the investigation made of each case individually: Where it comes from? whether or not it is politicized? there are several unions? they are multi-affiliation?.
Describe one of your most interesting or memorable cases in the past year.
The client wanted the labor ministry to rule on its interest and was willing to sign a collective agreement with the USO (largest union in the industry) and hoped that the unions agreed with their position. However, other small unions insisted that they would not do so and would be willing to go to an arbitration tribunal to define the differences.
But the legal arguments that were presented by the firm, specifically by Dr Alvarez, in favor of the Ecopetrol thesis were studied and followed by the labor ministry and consequently no courts were summoned for the other small unions that were requesting which forced them to sign what they had already agreed with the others.
