About us

Luiz Carlos Amorim Robortella has dedicated over 45 years to studying the modernization and flexibilization of labor relations, having published, individually, and coauthored approximately 50 books and 250 articles in Brazilian and international journals relating to the many aspects of individual, collective and procedural labor law.
Antonio Galvão Peres has published dozens of articles and law books, with noteworthy mention to the international labor agreement and international jurisdiction study, of major interest given the growing transnationalization of workers and capitals.
