Tell us about your case with no obligation

At BBM Abogados, your employment lawyer in Santander defends the rights of employees and companies in disputes such as dismissals, unpaid wages, workplace accidents, sanctions or collective redundancies. It is best to act as soon as the problem arises: to challenge a dismissal you have only 20 working days, a very short deadline that leaves no room for delay.

Your employment law firm in Santander

At BBM Abogados we have been defending the rights of employees and companies in Santander and throughout Cantabria since 1990. We understand the toll of a dismissal, a claim that goes nowhere or a dispute that drags on, and we tackle it with an approachable manner, rigour and a clear strategy for every case.

Whether you have been dismissed or your company needs advice to comply with the rules and prevent disputes, we put at your disposal a team that specialises in employment and social security law.

Dismissals: where you need us most

Most employment queries stem from a dismissal. If you believe yours was unfair or void, you are entitled to compensation, and you have only 20 working days to make your claim. We analyse your dismissal letter, calculate what you are owed and fight to recover it. Find out about our dismissals and compensation service.

We are with you at every stage

From the prior negotiation and the conciliation hearing to the trial before the employment tribunals, we represent you throughout the whole procedure: monetary claims, workplace accidents, incapacities, EREs and ERTEs, labour inspections and much more. Whatever your situation, tell us about your case with no obligation and we will tell you how we can help.

Frequently asked questions

What does an employment lawyer in Santander do? +

They advise and represent employees and companies in dismissals, monetary claims, workplace accidents, workforce restructuring procedures (ERE and ERTE), incapacities and labour inspections, both in the prior negotiation and before the employment tribunals.

How long do I have to challenge a dismissal? +

The deadline to challenge a dismissal is 20 working days from the effective date. It is a very short limitation period, so it is best to contact a lawyer as soon as possible so as not to lose your rights.

What compensation is due for an unfair dismissal? +

As a general rule, compensation for unfair dismissal is 33 days' salary per year worked (45 days for time worked before 2012), up to a maximum number of months' pay depending on length of service. We calculate your exact compensation in the first consultation.

Do you advise both employees and companies? +

Yes. We work for both sides of the employment relationship: we defend the rights of employees and we help companies to comply with the rules and prevent disputes.

How much does an employment lawyer cost? +

Fees depend on the type of matter and its complexity: reviewing a final settlement is not the same as taking a dismissal to trial. At BBM Abogados we give you a clear quote after studying your case in the first consultation, with no surprises.

Do I have to have a lawyer at the employment tribunal? +

In most proceedings before the employment tribunal you can appear without a lawyer or a labour-law graduate (graduado social), but it is not advisable. The other side is usually assisted, and having a professional greatly improves your chances of success.

What is the difference between an ERE and an ERTE? +

The ERE (workforce restructuring procedure) terminates contracts permanently, with a right to compensation. The ERTE is a temporary suspension or reduction of working hours: the employment relationship is preserved and the employee returns to work once it ends.
