City focus > Cali Tier 1

Since its establishment in 1979, Espíndola International Consultants has demonstrated a keen focus on international trade, including supplementary expertise in administrative law, transport, foreign investment and dispute resolution. Spread between the firm’s Cali headquarters and its Bogotá office, the practice also benefits from alliances with dispute resolution stalwart Arrubla Devis Asociados (Bogota and Medellín) and administrative boutique Maria Claudia Rojas & Asociados (Cali), which further augments its specialist service offering. Enjoying strong relationships with both Colombian and multinational clients, the group is arguably best known for its representation of companies in the agroindustry, transport and life sciences spheres, as well as importers and exporters across all sectors. Name partner Carlos Espindola-Scarpetta is a former legal director of Grupo Seguros Fenix, and has also enjoyed in-house stints at Bank of America, and Celanese Colombiana; he brings his significant in-house experience to bear on his work in the international trade, customs, exchange law, and insurance fields. Other key contacts include Claudia Bernate (dispute resolution and commercial law); Federico Velez-Pachón (M&A and financial law); Mónica Valencia (M&A and financial law); and Miguel Mina and Oscar Moreno (tax).
