Contracts and work organization
Drafting and reviewing contracts, probationary periods, fixed-term contracts and their limits, working hours, exemption from working hours, overtime, and teleworking. A large part of labor disputes arises from contracts drafted using generic templates that do not correspond to the company's reality.

Dismissal due to a fault attributable to the employee, elimination of the job position, collective dismissal, termination by agreement, and termination by the employee with just cause. These are formal procedures, and the failure of any one formality is enough to invalidate the outcome, regardless of the facts.
