Mr Gustavo Tamayo > Lloreda Camacho & Co. > Bogota, Colombia > Lawyer Profile

Lloreda Camacho & Co.’s premier IP offering is reflected in its TMT practice, as demonstrated by its recent activity in representing life sciences companies on data protection and privacy laws. The group also has a prominent record in advising telecoms entities on regulatory matters, with Claro Colombia a key client in this sphere. Litigator Gustavo Tamayo, who leads the Claro work, co-heads the department alongside senior associate Juan Manuel Ojeda, who joined in April 2022 from Claro Colombia. Associate director of the privacy and data protection practice, María Alejandra De Los Ríos, is also recommended. Tatiana Carrillo  left to become a solo practitioner in May 2022.

An ‘expert in working on matters for multinational companies’, Lloreda Camacho & Co. specialises in advising international clients — and law firms — on domestic and cross-border commercial disputes. The multidisciplinary practice demonstrates broad experience across the full range of judicial proceedings, with the ability to draw on the wider firm’s complementary expertise in IP, competition, insurance, and consumer law. Gustavo Tamayo steers both the litigation and TMT departments and is noted for his ‘strategic, energetic and communicative’ approach; he is defending US-based Bray International in a claim brought by its main distributer in Colombia (Casa De La Valvula) alleging the unfair termination of a distribution agreement. Raised to the partnership in August 2023, Christian Pérez Rueda ‘combines strategic vision and operational excellence’; he has a focus on dispute resolution, insurance, and unfair competition litigation. Senior associates Jorge Rodríguez  and Jimmy Buenaventura are also key members of the dispute resolution and insolvency team.

The dispute resolution group at Lloreda Camacho & Co. is well versed in both domestic and international arbitration cases, with a focus on heavily regulated industries — in line with the firm’s signature strength. Among its recent matters, the team has kept busy advising on cases relating to the TMT, energy, and manufacturing sectors, including for multinational clients such as América Móvil’s local subsidiary, Comcel. Key contact Gustavo Tamayo specialises in TMT, dispute resolution and insolvency, and is particularly sought after for his telecoms expertise. The group also includes former associate director, Christian Pérez Rueda, who focuses on dispute resolution, insolvency and insurance work, and was promoted to partner as of August 2023.
