Also focused on the public sector, Gemma has taken part as a specialist advisor for the reform of the Valencian Public Law from a gender perspective and for the negotiation of an Equality Plan for female and male employees of the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencian Government). She also acts as an external evaluator for the Ministry of Science and Innovation and chairs the Tripartite Council for the Development of Labour Relations and Collective Bargaining in the Valencian Region. She has also been granted prestigious awards such as the Aequitas Award to the professional career of the Valencia Association of Social Graduates in 2012 or the decoration of Honorary Member by the Professional Association of Tax Advisors of the Valencian Community in 2019.

“It is an honour to join a firm of the prestige of Sagardoy Abogados, which has been at the forefront of national Labour Law for decades. I am starting this new stage with great enthusiasm and I am sure that the collaboration with the entire Sagardoy team will be a highly enriching experience and will provide great value both professionally and personally for both parties,” said Gemma Fabregat.
