In a recent development, La Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación (“SCJN”) has pronounced on the constitutionality of labor reform in terms of subcontracting, enforced since April 2021, and has issued a significant precedent in this regard. This new criterion emerges out of the reforms made in 2021 on subcontracting arrangements within the nation.
This pronouncement addresses a number of longstanding questions around the implications, limitations, and process of subcontracting, and how best those can align with the principles of constitutional and labor fairness. As legal professionals, this news carries substantial weight in guiding our approach to subcontracting processes, providing a reference point that could be used in making vital legal and strategic decisions.
More detailed information on the SCJN’s position and the implications of this important precedent can be found in a recent write-up by Hogan Lovells. For an in-depth analysis and key insight on this development, visit this page.
