Our Labor Law Services
Labor Dispute Resolution
We represent clients in Single Entry Approach (SEnA) proceedings of the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to facilitate peaceful settlement of labor disputes and prevent them from escalating into labor litigation cases. Through SEnA, we help our clients arrive at a private, non-confrontational settlement agreement with their opponents without the authority of an arbiter or judge to resolve the dispute and the active involvement of lawyers to represent a party.
Labor Litigation
Where resolution is not possible through SenA, we also provide legal representation before Labor Arbiters, the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court on a broad range of labor litigation cases, such as but not limited to:
- Illegal and constructive dismissals;
- Unfair labor practices; and
- Other cases involving violation or non-compliance of labor standards and labor relations.
Labor Compliance
Our labor lawyers also help companies in acquiring a License to Operate as a Private Employment Agency (PEA) from the DOLE.
Additionally, we aid companies in reviewing their eligibility to engage in contractual and sub-contractual recruitment activities under the provisions of Department Order No. 174 (DO-174).
