Lawyers from the province of Buenos Aires request permission to practice after retirement

Lawyers from the Buenos Aires region want to change a law that prevents them from continuing to practice the profession once they retire. “That the person who has retired can continue to work, because by continuing to work he is still contributing” an argument Ivan Geminianiretired attorney, who also questioned the minimum they will receive, which is about $400,000.

In communication with the media, Geminiani said that the Bar Association They should process the amendment of Law 5177, which is exactly what prevents them from working again. “We need to change that law. Other professions retire and use, for example accountants,” he said.

“This was born this way. It must be because retirement, when things started, was enough to live with dignity. And there was talk of being supportive. That’s over – said the lawyer -. Everyone needs to be paid for what they have worked for and allowed to continue working when they want, because in the end when they retire they make it leave the goodwill without any compensation.”

For Geminiani, the responsibility for this situation is “common, including us,” because as he understands “We have stayed still and we will not press because we have to press based on certainty”.

In this sense, the retired lawyer lamented “Until last month the minimum retirement amount was $400,000 per monthwithout prejudice to the potential score, which is higher than that, but the minimum is $400,000. And he remembered that this deepens because they are not allowed to continue working.
