With offices in Bogotá and Medellín, Dret Legal has hit the ground running since its establishment in 2021 and looks set to become a significant player in the market; the dispute resolution practice is led by Juan Mendoza (formerly of Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría and BonelliErede), who enthusiastic clients highlight as ‘a brilliant lawyer’.
