Do you need a lawyer? Expert in dismissals (and fast)?

The moment of dismissal is confusing. The company may pressure you into signing a severance agreement that you are not entitled to. Your biggest risk right now is:

  • Let the 20-day deadline pass and lose your right to claim.

  • To accept a much smaller compensation than you are legally entitled to.

  • Not knowing how to refute a dismissal for misconduct that you know is false.

  • Facing the SMAC bureaucracy (the conciliation process) and the company's legal team alone.

Don't let overwhelm paralyse you. Acting fast is winning.

Preguntas frecuentes sobre despidos

How long do I have to claim for my dismissal?

Only 20 working days from the date of dismissal. It is a very tight deadline, so agility is key.

What is SMAC?

It is the mandatory conciliation procedure before going to trial. We take care of submitting the paperwork and negotiating on your behalf at the SMAC.

What do I need for the first consultation?

Bring your dismissal letter (if you have one), your employment contract and your latest payslips. We will analyse your case with no obligation.

How much will it cost me to claim about my employment situation?

We offer flexibility. In many dismissal cases, we work on a percentage of the compensation we recover (contingency fee), so we only charge if you win.
