Practice Areas
Nine practices that constantly intersect. A share purchase touches corporate, tax and employment law at once, which is why work is organised around the matter rather than the department.
- Corporate Law Incorporation, structuring and corporate governance.
- Compliance and Corporate Integrity AML, anti-bribery, data protection and audits.
- Trademarks and Intellectual Property Trademarks, copyright, franchising and IP litigation.
- Tax Law Planning, DIAN assessments and tax litigation.
- Customs and International Trade DIAN customs proceedings, AEO and foreign trade.
- Employment Law Preventive employer risk management and litigation.
- Litigation and Arbitration Court representation, enforcement and arbitration.
- Insolvency and Restructuring Reorganisation, liquidation and creditor representation.

Judgment over volume
Prevention. Most of the disputes we handle could have been avoided by a better drafted contract or a properly conducted disciplinary process.
Cross-border reach. Incorporation abroad, cross-border contracting, and compliance with standards such as OECD and Authorised Economic Operator.
Restraint. We set out scenarios, probabilities and costs; the decision is the client’s.
Sectors we know well
Agribusiness, retail and commerce. Manufacturers and importers holding Authorised Economic Operator status before the Colombian customs authority. Service companies expanding into the United States. We act for clients across Colombia and abroad.
