I will work with you to drive sensitive terminations and manage reputational and commercial issues.During the hiring process, I will be glad to go hand in hand with you in preparing employment contracts, saving the formalities to prevent future claims that may result in costly if sensitive documents such as contracts, internal policies, the internal body of rules, disciplinary actions were not drafted appropriately. May you decide to buy an operative business in Panama? I provide practical support in doing due diligence related to the risks involved in the benefits, compensation plans, and any red flags that could result in future claims against the new owner.Panama has special laws for immigrant workers; therefore, labor law is different in certain aspects. My knowledge and expertise in the immigration field started in 2000 when I made my first publication about immigrant workers in Panama. Therefore, if you are looking to hire ex-pats, I can:- Provide strategic advice on what would be the best visa and work permit applicable;- Drafting the labor contracts;- Advice on disciplinary matters;- Processing the work permit.I can support your HR team and become your principal reference for Employment Law needs as a commercial partner.
