Suma Legal > The Legal 500 Rankings

City focus > Medellín Tier 1

Founded in 2006, the 'excellent' Suma Legal is a 14-lawyer-strong firm focused principally on corporate and transactional matters, dispute resolution, insurance and labour. It also has a number of additional offerings including medical law, real estate and trusts, data protection and tech, and an underlying strength in administrative law. The latter team is led by managing partner Mauricio Ortega J ('stands out for his ability to understand business and help us with strategic approaches'), who also co-heads the corporate, contractual and M&A, and tax and foreign exchange practices, in conjunction with fellow-founding partner Carmela Rodríguez J ('excellent in the execution of contracts'). Handling primarily day-to-day matters (shareholder disputes, negotiations, contracts and operational matters), transactional due diligence and the structuring of investment projects (acquisitions, sales, etc.), the corporate departments is particularly involved in M&A deals related to inbound investment, as well as in corporate projects with a public aspect such as the Corporación Ruta N Medellín tech platform the firm has worked with since its inception in 2008, or the novel private-public association developed for the Biosuroeste agro-park. The firm's third co-founder Mateo Peláez García ('an extremely efficient, timely, diligent and competent lawyer') heads up the insurance and civil liability and dispute resolution practices, and also has a growing participation in the trusts sub-sector, particularly in relation to distressed real estate trusts. Completing the partner line up, Clara Patricia Correa ('management, knowledge, experience and service') joined the firm in 2008; she leads a labour and social security practice that covers the full range of employment matters. Associates Melissa Jones Martinez, Marcela Flórez Sierra, Alejandro Gómez Zapata and José Daniel Porras are also noted.
