Infrastructure stalwart Chemás & Asociados has a marked focus on project-related disputes. Arguably better known for its arbitral expertise, the boutique firm also houses significant litigation capability, with extensive experience in administrative and public law-related cases. Notably, the team maintains a prominent position in the transport infrastructure sphere, where it frequently represents consortium clients before the Colombian National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) and the National Roads Institute (INVIAS), among other entities. Founding partner Jorge Eduardo Chemás is a popular choice to advise on public procurement disputes; he is acting alongside experienced litigator Ingrid Soraya Ortiz to represent the Sedes Educativas Consortium in a fiscal liability proceeding initiated by the Comptroller General. Other key contacts include partner Sergio Alejandro Chemás, who has a focus on administrative and public law litigation, as well as associates Manuela Sossa, who is noted for public procurement disputes, and Nicolas España, who specialises in consumer law and liability issues.
