Alejandro Pacios

I am an associate in Bird & Bird's International HR Services department in the Madrid office.

Since the beginning of my professional career I have been dedicated to providing advice on all aspects of employment and social security law.

During my years of professional experience I have advised multiple clients, both at a national and an international level, on all types of employment-related matters including: employment contracts and special conditions, drafting of legal reports and opinions, internal flexibility measures, suspensions and terminations of individual employment relationships, outsourcing procedures and advice on contracts or services with third parties and temporary employment agencies.

I have also actively participated in the field of collective labour relations, including collective lay-offs, amendment of the work force's working conditions, collective bargaining and on collective suspension of employment relations and union elections, among others. This has also allowed me to represent clients before the Labour and Social Security Inspection Authorities and before the labour courts on additional matters such as dismissals, claims for payment, claims of rights, sanctions, and substantial changes to working conditions.

Furthermore, in recent years I have also worked on several multi-jurisdiction M&A procedures and corporate restructurings, advising clients on the labour and social security aspects during the acquisition or sale of companies.
