Focused on people: Guided by law

Guiding you through transitions: At work, in life, and across borders.

Who are we?

Empleo started in 2022 with a clear mission: to provide expert legal support for employment law and workplace matters. From day one, we embraced our role as advocates for employers and employees, helping navigate challenges, protect rights, and create fairer work environments. It was work we loved
Rewarding, impactful, and transformative. Along the way, we broke down barriers and redefined what workplace legal support could look like. But as our practice grew, so did the needs of our clients. We noticed an increasing number of requests related to migration
Employers seeking advice on cross-border hiring and compliance, and individuals navigating the complexities of work and residency permits. Meeting this demand was not just a response; it was a natural progression for us. Today, Empleo is much more than an employment law firm. We have expanded into migration services, offering tailored solutions that reflect the realities of a globalized world. This growth has strengthened our commitment to serving people
Helping them overcome legal challenges, seize opportunities, and achieve their goals, whether at work or beyond. Our journey has always been about people. We remain dedicated to providing expert guidance with care, clarity, and the personal attention you deserve. Whether you’re an employer, an employee, or someone exploring new horizons, Empleo is here to support you every step of the way.

Due to her skillset, she was also entrusted with managing and overseeing operations and human resources, where she gained technical and practical experience in various corporate, commercial and employment matters.

Her practical hands-on experience and insight perfectly complement Mariella’s technical knowledge of employment law, thus placing her in an ideal position to understand and advise employers and employees alike on various matters that may arise at the workplace.
