Strategic consulting and legal defense in labor restructuring for companies and employees. Speak with meWhat I domanuel barba
I know how complex it is to face collective dismissal proceedings
I know how difficult it is to face a Collective Dismissal Procedure (ERE) or temporary layoff (ERTE). Whether you’re a business owner who needs to ensure your business’s viability, or an employee facing job loss or changes to working conditions, the uncertainty and pressure are overwhelming.
In restructuring situations, my clients seek something very simple: a clear roadmap, absolute legal certainty, and firm negotiation that protects their interests.
You don’t have to do it alone.
I’m Manuel Barba, a labor attorney in Asturias specializing in collective dismissals and restructurings. I handle guiding you through every phase of the procedure, from the justification report to negotiation and judicial defense if necessary.

Don’t delay resolving your problem
Does your company need to initiate collective dismissal proceedings for economic or productive reasons? Have you been notified of the opening of a consultation period as an affected employee?
In collective dismissals, legal and negotiation deadlines are extremely rigid and brief. Waiting can mean making a procedural error that declares the collective dismissal null and void (with disastrous consequences for the company) or accepting exit conditions and compensation lower than what the law provides (in the case of the employee).
Each day that passes without advice from a specialist attorney increases financial and legal risk.
What do I offer you? An initial action plan
A clear plan to navigate the collective dismissal process without complications, with the technical rigor that collective dismissal requires. So you can regain control and put the problem behind you:
1. I analyze your case: I assess the real existence of causes (Economic, Technical, Organizational or Production – ETOP) and the documentation provided.
2. I design the strategy: Whether to justify the proceedings and negotiate successfully (company) or to audit accounts and challenge the measure (employees).
3. I defend your position: Representing your interests at the negotiating table, before the Labor Authority and, if necessary, in the Courts.
A simple hiring process
I have helped companies save their viability and workforces achieve the best possible agreements. Here’s how we’ll do it:
