Employment

Our broad local practice includes advice and representation in all employment related matters. In 2010 Cruz & Co its predecessor was selected by the Employment Law Alliance (an international network of specialized employment lawyers) to be its Gibraltar member. This gives our clients and their corporate groups a global reach that is undoubtedly unique to any Gibraltar firm including at no costs access to the global employer handbook that is an A-Z in employment law and regulations in Gibraltar and elsewhere in an easy to read format (a sure way to reduce costs and avoid mistakes).
