Peru labor lawyer
Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. is a US law firm with an international clientele. When US companies, investors, or individuals have employment-related issues connected to Peru — whether it is drafting a compliant employment contract for a Peruvian subsidiary, navigating a cross-border termination, or ensuring that a US parent company’s policies align with Peru’s labor code — the firm can coordinate the right team. For matters requiring representation under Peruvian law, the firm works with Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel for Peru. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru. He is not admitted to practice law in the United States. Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel collaborate so that the US-law dimension of a matter is handled by a US-admitted attorney, while the Peru-law side is handled by a Peru-admitted attorney. To discuss how we can assist with your Peru labor matter, call our firm at (888) 437-7747.
What This Cross-Border Labor Practice Covers
Cross-border labor law sits at the intersection of US employment law and Peru’s labor regime. A US employer with operations in Peru, or a US individual doing business there, faces two sets of obligations. On the US side, extraterritorial statutes such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act (where applicable), and federal anti-discrimination laws can reach overseas conduct. On the Peru side, the labor framework — principally the Texto Único Ordenado de la Ley de Productividad y Competitividad Laboral (Supreme Decree No. 003-97-TR) and its regulations — governs individual employment relationships, collective bargaining, workplace safety, and social security contributions. Missteps in either jurisdiction can lead to penalties, litigation, or reputational harm.
Our practice coordinates the US and Peru dimensions. We help clients draft employment agreements that respect both Peruvian statutory minimums and US corporate standards; advise on termination procedures under Peru’s causa justa doctrine; evaluate severance obligations; address remote-worker arrangements where the employee is physically in Peru but reports to a US manager; and assist with internal investigations that span both countries. Because each matter is unique, we avoid cookie-cutter solutions and instead tailor advice to the specific facts and the regulatory environment as it stands.
How Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. Handles Cross-Border Peru Labor Matters
Every Peru-linked employment matter we handle is structured to respect two separate legal systems, two separate professional licences, and two separate professional-responsibility regimes. Mr. Sris, the firm’s Owner and Managing Attorney, is admitted in Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia, New Jersey, and New York. He provides the US-side analysis: compliance with US labor and employment statutes, FCPA due-diligence for commercial dealings, and oversight of litigation in US courts where it arises. When a matter requires representation under Peruvian law — such as appearing before the Peruvian labor authority or drafting filings under Peruvian procedural rules — the firm engages Martín Mayandía, Of Counsel for Peru. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru. He is not admitted to practice law in the United States. His work with the firm is limited to matters of Peruvian law, and he serves as a liaison between the client and the US-licensed attorney who handles the US-law component.
This bifurcated model ensures that no attorney practices law where they are not admitted, and that each piece of advice comes from a lawyer who is both competent and licensed in the relevant jurisdiction. Clients receive one coordinated service while preserving the ethical boundaries that protect attorney-client privilege in both countries.

For cross-border work reaching Peru, Mr. Sris and his Of Counsel network draw on extensive combined legal experience. Martín Mayandía serves as Of Counsel for Peru matters. He brings a decade and a half of Peruvian civil-law practice to the collaboration. Mr. Mayandía is admitted to practice law in Peru. He is not admitted to practice law in the United States. By integrating Mr. Sris’s US litigation and transactional experience with Mr. Mayandía’s knowledge of Peruvian labor law, the firm can offer a layered, compliant service for clients whose matters involve both US and Peruvian legal systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Peru-admitted lawyer for a US company’s Peru operations?
Yes, for matters that require representation under Peruvian law you must engage a lawyer licensed in Peru. The US-licensed attorney can advise on US-law aspects, but any filing, appearance, or legal work governed by Peruvian law should be handled by a Peruvian-licensed attorney. Our firm coordinates with an Of Counsel who is admitted in Peru for that very reason.
What kind of labor matters can a Peru labor lawyer assist with?
Assistance can cover individual employment contracts, collective-bargaining issues, termination procedures, severance calculations, and compliance with Peru’s workplace-safety and social-security requirements. For US clients, cross-border issues such as expatriate assignments, dual-jurisdiction non-compete clauses, and interaction between US FCPA policies and Peruvian labor-corruption risks also fall within the practice.
Can Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. represent me in a Peruvian labor court?
The firm itself does not appear in Peruvian courts, because its US-licensed attorneys are not admitted in Peru. Instead, the firm coordinates representation with a Peru-admitted Of Counsel who can appear in Peruvian tribunals while the US attorney handles any related US proceedings. This arrangement ensures ethical compliance and that the right licensed professional handles each jurisdiction’s part.
Does the firm handle remote-worker arrangements where an employee lives in Peru but works for a US company?
Yes, we advise on the US-law and Peru-law aspects of cross-border remote work. The US-side analysis looks at wage-and-hour classification, tax withholding, and corporate policies. The Peru-side, handled by our Peru Of Counsel, examines whether the arrangement inadvertently creates a permanent establishment, triggers Peru’s labor-court jurisdiction, or requires local social-security registration. We coordinate so the employer makes informed decisions.
What should I bring to an initial consultation about my Peru labor matter?
Bring any employment contracts, employee handbooks, termination letters, corporate-structure documents, and a summary of the key facts, including dates and the nationality of the parties. Having these documents allows both the US-licensed attorney and the Peru Of Counsel to assess the matter efficiently. Everything shared with the firm is protected by attorney-client privilege to the fullest extent permitted by US law.
How do I reach Law Offices of SRIS, P.C. about a Peru labor issue?
