Labour consultants TO PREVENT AND DEFEND

ADVICE AND DEFENSE IN TRIAL

At Conesa Legal, we have been protecting the interests of businesses in Catalonia and across Spain for over 50 years. We are a Barcelona-based employment law firm, with a team of specialists who combine extensive courtroom experience with strategic, day-to-day labour law advisory services.

We position ourselves as trusted legal partners to SMEs, corporate groups, industry associations, trade bodies and senior executives, delivering effective solutions both in preventing workplace disputes and in handling litigation when it arises. Our team covers all areas of Employment and Social Security Law, from working time and hiring practices to benefits, dismissals, collective bargaining, internal policies and compliance.

Every autumn we help companies prepare and review their working calendar: local holidays for each workplace, annual hours under the collective agreement, annual leave and consultation with employee representatives.

Dismissals and Severance Compensation

At Conesa Legal, we support companies in managing dismissals with a fully strategic approach. We determine the most appropriate course of action, whether objective dismissal, disciplinary dismissal, collective redundancies (ERE), temporary workforce adjustment measures (ERTE), or terminations based on organisational, technical, economic or production-related grounds, ensuring that every step of the process is legally robust.

In disciplinary dismissals, we assist in properly preparing and documenting the prior hearing process, organising the file and procedure with the utmost rigour.

We calculate statutory severance with precision by reviewing contribution bases, common contingencies and contribution groups. We also ensure that final settlement payments are accurate, including outstanding salary, accrued bonuses, unused holiday and any other relevant items, avoiding costly errors or unnecessary disputes. All of this is backed by our specialist employment litigators.
