Independent contractors’ unwarranted compensation claims. Estudio Olaechea is representing TCLA International in six labour lawsuits filed by former contractors, seeking multimillion-dollar values in damages. Our advice included the defence strategy and the legal representation in the disputes.
US Embassy in Peru and foreign company’s involvement in all cases: This matter is relevant because all these labour lawsuits involve the US Embassy in Peru and a US company.
Unique matter with economic and reputational stakes and alleged damage: Additionally, the disputes are unique due to their economic impact on the client, the potential prevention of unfavourable precedents, and the reputational issue involving the counterparties’ alleged health and psychological damage.
Successful results in most cases so far: Four of these labour lawsuits were declared unfounded and, therefore, no payment has been recognised in favour of the counterparties. The decisions over the other lawsuits are pending.
Latest development: We continue to assist the client in these labour claims.
