(Leading associates)According to some, Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría’s tax team is ‘always at the forefront with the best tax strategies’. The thriving practice represents more than 15% of the firm’s total turnover and, importantly, continues to grow; during 2023/24 it added ten new clients, including Bancolombia and Entoria Energy. Covering a comprehensive range of transactional tax, tax planning, transfer pricing and contentious matters, the group is further distinguished by its ability to maintain ‘fluent collaboration between the corporate, transactional and tax teams’. Few individuals are as equipped to advise on transactional tax as managing partner Martín Acero, whose broad practice spans corporate, M&A and energy law. Acero recently advised CI Girdle & Lingerie on the reorganisation of its textile production and commercialisation structure in Colombia and abroad. Carolina Rozo is highly regarded for her adept handling of tax planning, transactional tax and tax litigation, where she acts for both corporations and private clients. Rounding out the partner-level group is Barranquilla office head Héctor Ramírez, whose seaport location is reflected in a practice that operates at the intersection of tax and international trade; he recently recorded strong showings in transactional tax and tax planning work. At associate level, the department draws on principals Leonardo Cote and Verónica Barone, as well as senior Natalia Guerrero.
