About

Since March 2018, Jesús Esteban Revelo Barragán acts as a technical link at the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce for the Hydrocarbons Territorial Strategy, strengthening the management of this initiative led by the National Government through the National Hydrocarbons Agency, in the field of commercial law, competition law, strategies for the supply of goods and services for the oil and gas industry, business development projects and supply chains in the territories where hydrocarbon projects are developed. Despite working as an in-house counsel for only short period time, he has already impressed peers in private practice with one glowingly saying the following: ‘[Revelo] has demonstrated excellent knowledge in the field of competition law. He is a young lawyer who has been part of different legal teams within public sector entities and his performance within the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce has been highlighted by his ability to interpret particular cases and propose impeccable solutions’. During his professional practice Revelo has integrated different working groups within prominent entities of the three branches of public power, which he says has allowed him to strengthen his knowledge and experience in matters of public and private law, particularly in the areas of procedural law, commercial law and administrative law. He joined the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce in 2017 and initially worked as a lawyer in the Restrictive Commercial Practices Group of the Delegation for the Protection of Competition before being selected for his current role. Describing himself as ‘disciplined, committed and a responsible professional’ Revelo says he also understands ‘the importance of performing in the public sector’ and for that reason strives daily to be more efficient and always achieve an optimal performance.
