The ‘innovative’ capital markets group at Posse Herrera Ruiz is commended as being ’fully committed to client service’. Mainly active on debt capital markets transactions during 2024/25, the team’s recent work spans both issuer- and underwriter-side mandates — it also routinely acts alongside the corporate area to assist with equity capital markets deals. Department co-head Jaime Cubillos sits in both the corporate and M&A, and capital markets divisions and recently advised Banco W on the issuance of social bonds in the secondary market for up to COP$200bn. Fellow co-head Jesús Albarrán specialises in banking and finance, and capital markets work; he recently acted in conjunction with up-and-coming capital markets partner Natalia Escobar and the corporate practice to advise Banco Finandina on the issuance of sustainable bonds for up to COP$200bn. Juan José Huertas, who was promoted to partner in January 2025, and senior associate Isabella Del Río are also recommended. Mariana Posse retired in December 2024.
