Pérez-Llorca

Distinguished by its dominant lender-side practice, Pérez-Llorca (formerly Gómez-Pinzón Abogados until their June 2025 merger) acts for an exhaustive roster of domestic and foreign commercial banks, multilateral development agencies and alternative lenders on financing transactions — the practice is also routinely engaged by corporate borrowers. On the regulatory front, the team’s close relationships with a myriad of financial institutions and private funds ensures it is additionally well versed in navigating complex regulatory and compliance matters. Department head Ricardo Fandiño is widely acclaimed as a go-to expert for both transactional and regulatory work; he recently advised a group of major foreign banks (BBVA New York branch, JP Morgan, Itaú, Standard Chartered and Bank of Nova Scotia) on a $1.2bn loan to Ecopetrol. José Luis Suárez is another seasoned banking and finance veteran; he was recently selected by Citibank Colombia to support on local law matters related to the refinancing of a corporate credit facility denominated in three currencies. Other key contacts include Daniel Londoño, who acted for International Finance Corporation on a $120m sustainability-linked loan to retailer Jerónimo Martins; and Adriana Moreno, whose practice encompasses capital markets, financial law, and corporate and M&A. Key senior associate Catalina Prieto focuses on corporate and project financings. Former senior Daniel Flórez moved in house at Grupo Patria in mid-2025; sadly, we also have to report that fellow senior Jimena González has passed away.
