RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Embraer (Sao Paolo:EMBR3.SA - News) said on Monday it will defend itself against a lawsuit seeking to suspend the Brazilian planemaker's negotiations with Boeing (NYSE:BA - News) over a proposed takeover of most of Embraer's commercial jet unit.

A Brazilian labor judge this month rejected a call to make the proposed acquisition dependent on a pledge to preserve all local jobs at the company.
