(Next Generation Partners)Climbing a tier for 2024, Holland & Knight finds favour for its ‘hands-on team, partner availability and disruptive solutions’. Combining strength in both regulatory and transactional work, the firm acts for an increasingly prominent list of domestic and international lenders and borrowers, including Banco Santander, Banco Davivienda and new client, KMA Construcciones. Department co-head Camilo Gantiva is equipped to advise on transactional and regulatory matters, fintech and capital markets issues; he recently acted alongside the New York office to advise Bancoldex on the NY and Colombian law aspects of a $300m credit agreement with JP Morgan Chase. Juliana Saa, who recently advised Bancolombia on a COP$235bn financing to private equity fund Terranum, co-heads the group and has an emphasis on energy and infrastructure. The practice also draws on seasoned finance specialist Enrique Gómez Pinzón, who splits his time between Bogotá and Washington DC. Associate Juan Felipe Fontecha provides additional support on capital markets transactions, as well as securities and financial regulation. In February 2023, associate Alberto Vergara left to join the IFC.
