Maria Pérez Borja's practice is concentrated in handling labor and employment matters involving individual and collective labor issues. She has experience advising employers on preventive measures to avoid litigation and decrease the risks and contingencies it generates, as well as on the many facets related to corporate restructurings, mergers, public and private acquisitions, transfer of shares or assets, dissolutions, and liquidations.
Maria has successfully helped clients reach their goals and objectives in many corporate transactions involving internal investigations and employee misconduct, benefit homogenization, changes in working conditions, solving incidents that may arise regarding employee's right to stock option plans from a previous employer, and implementing new stock option plans. She regularly advises on employee benefits and executive compensation; design of stock option plans; modification of employment agreements and related procedures; implementing strategies regarding employee profit sharing; drafting and negotiating employment, noncompete, and nondisclosure agreements; and negotiating, implementing, and terminating individual employment agreements and collective bargaining agreements.
She is an active member of Jones Day's On-The-Ground Team in support of the Firm's Laredo Immigration Detention Project, which consists of interviewing immigrants, mostly women, detained while illegally entering the U.S. and assisting a group of immigration lawyers and specialists during the process.
