Highlighted for its ‘broad range of expertise’, TozziniFreire Advogados maintains a strong footing in the contentious and non-contentious sides of labour law, assisting domestic and multinational companies from a variety of sectors. Its litigation work encompasses lawsuits filed by former employees, trade unions and the Labour Prosecutor’s Office. Collective bargaining is a key area of strength for the team, which also advises on outsourcing, HR policies, internal labour audits and compliance training on the consultancy front. Practice head Alexandre de Almeida Cardoso has extensive experience in preventive matters and labour litigation, having advised on several precedent-setting cases in recent years. Gabriela Lima is the go-to for advice regarding compensation structures, incentive plans, benefits and the termination of contracts. Mihoko Sirley Kimura is a key name for hiring and compensation-related work, and Fernanda Bianco Pimentel regularly represents clients in inspections by the labour authorities. André Fittipaldi is no longer at the firm.
