A former Supreme Court judge, founding partner Javier Tamayo Jaramillo
is ‘an institution in Colombia on the subject of insurance law’; he recently teamed up with Carlos Andres Gonzales Galvís to represent Seguros de Vida Suramericana in complex pension fund insurance litigation initiated by Electrolima. Laura Castaño Echeverri stands out for her ‘professionalism, knowledge of the subject and expertise’ and specialises in insurance litigation, with an emphasis on medical liability; she is advising HDI Seguros in a sensitive dispute concerning the mistreatment of a minor in foster care. Other key contacts include civil and state liability partner Daniel Ossa Gómez; dispute resolution specialist Luis Miguel Gómez; and Margarita Rosa Jaramillo, who handles liability and insurance.
