Lawyer Rankings

Colombia > Corporate and M&A

A team composed of good negotiators, who are experienced in New York law’, Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría’s corporate and M&A practice strikes an enviable balance between domestic and multinational clients. Routinely involved in transformational — often cross-border — M&A, the deep and broad group is distinguished by its international platform, which leans on offices in Peru and Chile as well as a partnership with Spain-headquartered Uría Menéndez. Among the names to note, managing partner Martín Acero is a ‘true leader and looks for solutions to the most complicated problems’; he paired up with corporate and real estate partner Juan Carlos Rocha to advise Ferro and Hojalatas y Laminados on the structuring of a vehicle, in which they will jointly participate with Yellowstone Capital Partners, to develop a real estate project in Medellín. The firm fields an additional high-profile corporate specialist in Claudia Barrero, who recently advised Grupo Argos on its agreement (together with Grupo de Inversiones Suramericana and Grupo Nutresa), with Jaime Gilinski Bacal and IHC to carry out a stock exchange. Other recommended partners include Felipe Cuberos, who handles a mix of corporate and commercial law; Hernando Padilla, who specialises in corporate, M&A and private equity; and Nicolás Tirado, whose practice spans corporate and insolvency matters. The department also utilises the growing expertise of several associates, including principals David Beltrán, Juan Guillermo Nur and Juan José Castaño, as well as senior Natalia Velasco. Former principal Luz María Mercado moved in house at Stori in September 2023.
