Additionally, we assist our clients in defining their communication and image policies regarding labour relations and human resources.

The method we apply to collective bargaining requires a situation analysis and an action proposal; hence, in addition to legal advice, we carry out the strategic and tactical management of the entire process.

Arinsa can also act as spokesperson and manage the communication and image campaigns involved in a collective agreement bargaining process.

At the industry level, many corporate organisations have entrusted us with the bargaining and management of the various collective agreements for their different regional and industry divisions. We have also successfully participated in setting up new collective bargaining areas.

For every workforce restructuring process, we take the full context into account through viability plans or social plans. We believe that good planning, together with proper knowledge of the environment and communication, are essential in order to reach a good agreement.

We also believe that a satisfactory outcome to a workforce restructuring process is not possible without a proven interlocution capacity with the parties involved. Arinsa possesses such a tool

Making provision for the continual changes in our legislation is sometimes beyond the scope of Human Resources departments. At Arinsa we assess the need for adapting to the changing legal provisions on labour relations; we have extensive experience of performing audits in scenarios involving changes in shareholding structure and company merger and split-up processes, among others.

We have the experience and knowledge required to design all the stages of an equality plan, including the preparation of a situation diagnosis – an essential step to determine whether the plan is required.

We are also specialists in the analysis, preparation and development of different protocols relating to gender protection.

We are involved in the writing of articles for specialised magazines and books enjoying renown within our field of activity, as well as national newspapers.

Some of our professionals are part of the teaching teams of various seminars on Labour and Trade Union Law, and faculty members of different public and private universities.

Our involvement in training activities, combined with the analysis of the current and future legislation and our presence in corporate and trade union spheres, places us in a position of real influence when it comes to proposing changes in Spanish labour legislation.
