BECERRA LABORAL

BECERRA LABORAL was founded in 1970 as a result of the needs felt by clients (generally companies of “BECERRA” group) in the field of Employment and Social Security.

Soon after opening this new area of legal advice, it grew quickly. After a steady development, it was fully integrated in the other legal fields such as the tax one, which was the main reason for opening BECERRA advisors in 1918.

Nowadays, more than 50 years after its creation, BECERRA LABORAL is very successful and relevant to society. After all, the problems deriving from the needs of companies: human resources or good working relations among staff appear both in periods of crisis and economic expansion.

Our team has reached a high level of professionalism and experience which is offered to our clients everyday. Their feedback and loyalty assure us we are in the right path.

We endeavour to give you the right answer and solution to the needs of your companies and therefore, we will always be at your disposal and happy to have you among our distinguished clientele.
