Colombia > Corporate and M&A
(Leading partners)Attracting strong reviews from clients, the corporate and M&A practice at Serrano Martínez CMA is roundly praised as ‘commercial, responsive, proactive, obsessed with client service and substantively brilliant’. The newly merged group — the result of an October 2023 merger between legacy firms Correa Merino Agudelo Abogados and Serrano Martínez — brings together strong skill sets in M&A, reorganisations, venture capital and contentious work, as well as offices in Colombia’s two major business hubs: Bogotá and Medellín. The ‘extremely committed’ Juan Diego Martinez co-heads the department and recently advised Grupo Vanti on a joint venture transaction with leading Colombian gas companies to finance the retail acquisition of natural gas-fuelled trucks. Fellow group co-head Camilo Merino specialises in M&A and venture capital, and is particularly noted for technology and start-up-related matters. A talented band of non-partners includes associate practice directors Alejandro Medina and Sebastián Morales Agudelo, as well as intermediate associate Valentina Castillo B.
