AI for Employment Lawyers: EREs, Dismissals, and Claims with Artificial Intelligence

AI in Spanish Employment Law

Employment law is one of the legal specialties where document volume and procedural deadlines can make the difference between winning and losing. A poorly documented ERE or a claim filed out of time can ruin months of work.

EREs: The Challenge of Massive Documentation

A Collective Dismissal Procedure (ERE) involves reviewing hundreds of contracts, payslips, collective agreements, and economic justifications. AI can drastically reduce analysis time:

• Mass contract analysis: Identify irregularities in clauses, contract types, and specific conditions
• Collective agreement review: Check if the ERE complies with the applicable agreement
• Economic justification: Analyze financial documentation to verify the alleged grounds

Wrongful Dismissals: Strengthening the Defense

When a worker alleges wrongful dismissal, the employment lawyer must build a solid case file. With Lexiel you can:

1. Analyze the disciplinary file to identify procedural flaws
2. Search Supreme Court and TSJ case law relevant to the type of dismissal
3. Generate draft complaints adapted to the relevant social court jurisdiction
4. Use Adversarial Analysis to anticipate the employer's arguments

Deadlines: The Achilles Heel of Labor Procedure

Deadlines in the social jurisdiction are especially strict. The deadline to challenge a dismissal is 20 business days from the effective date. Missing this deadline is irreversible.

Lexiel automatically calculates:

• Limitation periods by action type (dismissal, wage claims, substantial modification)
• Business days according to the procedural calendar
• Pre-expiry alerts

FOGASA Claims

The Wage Guarantee Fund ensures workers receive wages and severance pay when the company is insolvent. Preparing a FOGASA claim requires documenting the certified wage debt, verifying the legal limits of Art. 33 ET, and calculating the máximum guaranteed amount.

AI can review all documentation and generate the claim with correct legal references.
