CRL Abogados

Cardona Rojas Lizcano (CRL Abogados) is a Colombian boutique law firm specialising in Real Estate and Urban Law, Corporate Law and M&A. Founded in Bogotá in 2025, the firm brings together three highly regarded practitioners with nearly two decades or more of individual experience, established reputations in the Colombian legal market, and a proven track record advising on some of the country's most significant real estate developments, urban planning initiatives and complex corporate transactions.

Although CRL is a relatively new firm, its leadership is firmly established in the market. Founding partners Camilo Cardona Casis, Julián Felipe Rojas Rodríguez and Sandra Milena Lizcano Zea have held senior positions at leading Colombian and international law firms, contributed to major urban development projects and earned individual recognition from international legal directories. Their combined experience, spanning private practice, public-sector leadership and sophisticated transactional work, provides the foundation for the firm's specialised offering.

CRL's distinctive strength lies in its ability to integrate advanced urban planning and regulatory expertise with sophisticated corporate and transactional advice. This multidisciplinary approach enables the firm to address legal challenges throughout the lifecycle of real estate investments and developments, from land acquisition, regulatory feasibility and urban licensing to investment structuring, contractual arrangements, governance and asset management.

The firm's Real Estate and Urban Law practice advises developers, construction companies, institutional investors and other market participants on complex projects involving land-use regulations, planning instruments, urban development and property-related transactions. Its Corporate and M&A practice provides strategic counsel on corporate structures, investment vehicles, fiduciary arrangements, governance and transactions, with particular expertise in real estate-backed investments and asset-intensive businesses.

CRL operates through a partner-led service model that prioritises direct access to senior lawyers, personalised attention and commercially oriented solutions. Combining the experience and reputation of its founding partners with the agility of a specialised boutique, the firm delivers sophisticated legal advice tailored to the strategic objectives of its clients.

Through this integrated approach, CRL positions itself as a strategic legal partner for businesses and investors navigating Colombia's complex regulatory, real estate and corporate landscape.
