Lawyer Rankings

Colombia > Competition and antitrust

Dentons Cardenas & Cardenas secured a significant volume of non-contentious work during 2023/24, with an emphasis on merger reviews — where it can leverage its global platform to advise on the local aspects of cross-border transactions — and antitrust compliance matters. The three-lawyer team is steered by Ximena Zuleta, who sits in the public law, competition and dispute resolution teams; she recently advised steel producer Matecsa, part of the Acesco Group, on the merger control proceeding triggered by its acquisition of 65% of Alurack. As a member of both the corporate and the competition groups, supporting senior associate María Paula Macías is particularly well placed to support on merger reviews.
