Our team is made up of highly specialised lawyers focusing exclusively on Employment and Social Security Law and all areas related to labour relations.

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.

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.
