* “Deloitte Legal” means the legal practices of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited member firm affiliates that provide legal services. For legal and regulatory reasons, not all member firms provide legal services.
Main areas of practice: Deloitte Legal organizes its market offerings around three key areas:

Foreign exchange: Even though the exchange market in Colombia flows freely, several exchange operations must be legalized according to Colombian exchange market regulations.
The free market consists of all other operations that do not have the obligation to be completed through the foreign exchange market, such as payments for services supply in foreign currency and transfer of foreign currency for other types of transactions, such as donations. These types of transactions do not have to be reported to the Colombian Central Bank. Likewise, the Colombian regulation acknowledges the existence of a “free market”, which consists of all operations that are not of mandatory channeling.
Pursuant to foreign exchange regulations, the following transactions must be completed through the foreign exchange market:
- Import and export of goods.
- Foreign indebtedness and related financial costs.
- Financial investments in securities and assets abroad.
- Foreign capital investments in Colombia.
- Colombian capital investments abroad.
- Endorsements and warranty bonds in foreign currency.
- Derivative
Under this scenario, Deloitte Legal* provides clients with a complete scheme, analysis, and accompaniment during the procedures and required steps to effectively comply with the foreign exchange regime
Employment law and social security: Turbulent economic times require companies to be agile and flexible in their staffing to remain competitive. Complex polices, frequent legislative changes and global operations make managing employee relations and compliance with employment law challenging for businesses. Deloitte Legal* provides businesses with the advice they need to make informed decisions and comply with a multitude of regulatory and procedural requirements. Services included but not limited to are:
- Compensation and benefits
- Individual employment law
- International employment remodeling
- Human cloud
- Legal mobility services
