(Leading individuals)The result of the October 2023 merger of Medellín-based Correa Merino Agudelo Abogados and the corporate-and-competition focused Serrano Martínez in Bogota; Serrano Martínez CMA boasts an office in the country’s two leading markets, a strengthened corporate practice and a newly broadened service offering. In the competition sector, the practice strikes the right note with sources due to its ‘great practical knowledge and approach to regulators’. The thriving boutique added a string of major multinational clients to its roster over the past year, including Kelloggs de Colombia and Bloomberg, while its growing prominence in merger review cases saw it rank among the top three merger filers in the country during 2022. Felipe Serrano fronts the group and is considered by many as ‘an expert in his subject’. Serrano provides ongoing competition advice to Amazon, including recently advising the technology giant on the merger-control process regarding its acquisition of iRobot Corporation. Associate director Andrés Jaramillo Sanz, who has a focus on litigation and procedural law, is also recommended. In May 2022, the group welcomed new senior associate Juan Diego Mojica, who joined from the Constitutional Court of Colombia.
