Article 685 Bis Federal Labor Law

The parties shall have the right to have their due defense and representation guaranteed; consequently, they may be assisted by a legal attorney who must be a Law Graduate or licensed attorney with professional license. When the Court notices that there exists a manifest and systematic technical incapacity of the legal attorney, it shall warn the affected party to designate another, having three calendar days to do so. The employees or their beneficiaries shall have the right to have assigned to them an attorney of the competent Attorney's Office for the Defense of Labor (Procuraduría de la Defensa del Trabajo) or of the Public Defender's Office that assumes their legal representation.
