Colombia > Competition and antitrust
(Next Generation Partners)The team at Baker McKenzie S.A.S. strikes the right note with sources for its ‘extensive knowledge of competition and antitrust law issues’. A first port of call for both major multinationals and leading domestic corporations, the group handles the full gamut of competition law matters, from antitrust compliance and merger reviews through to complex cartel investigations and litigation. The team’s sector expertise is equally comprehensive, but it is arguably best-known for its strong skill sets in the TMT, financial services and pharmaceutical areas, alongside other heavily regulated industries. High-profile department co-head Carolina Pardo is a key member of the wider firm’s regional antitrust group and recently advised US-based Concentrix Corporation on the acquisition of control of Webhelp, through the purchase of the entire stake in its parent company Marnix Lux, which involved 12 jurisdictions worldwide. Angélica Navarro co-heads the practice and acted as second chair on the Concentrix matter. A further name to note in this ‘well-trained’ and ‘warm and close’ team is senior associate Carlos Arboleda, whose practice focus encompasses competition, merger control, data protection and TMT matters. Former senior Luís Alberto Castell (competition law and corporate compliance), left the firm in June 2024, as did associate Santiago Blanco the previous January.
