The group is led by José Ignacio Arteaga, a specialist in labour litigation, collective bargaining and corporate labour issues; and at associate level, Andrea Abdala Ready, who assists with labour, employment and immigration-related compliance.”

Abdala y Cia‘s lawyers ‘take cases on as if they were their own’.
