+ InfoADVICE 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.

50 years of experience in prevention and defence
Our team is made up of highly specialised lawyers focusing exclusively on Employment and Social Security Law and all areas related to labour relations. Our longstanding commitment to labour law has led us, since our early years, to become active members of leading professional associations, including the International Society for Labour and Social Security Law.
We are currently members of the Employment Law and EU & International Law Sections of the Barcelona Bar Association, and we chair the EU Social Law Commission of the Barcelona Association of Labour and Social Security Graduates.
From our office in Barcelona, Conesa Legal provides employment law advisory services throughout Catalonia, across Spain and internationally. We represent clients before labour courts in any province and tailor our approach to the legal, economic and social specificities of each region.
We also offer online employment law advisory services, allowing you to consult with our lawyers from anywhere, efficiently and professionally, without the need to travel. This ensures immediate access to legal solutions wherever your business operates.
If you are looking for a trusted employment law advisor near you, we can assist you either online or in person.
If you wish to fully outsource your HR and employment law function, we can manage it comprehensively.
If your company has international employment law needs, we provide coordinated legal support across multiple jurisdictions.
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.
