Serrano Martínez CMA

Serrano Martínez CMA’s national presence is well balanced between Colombia’s two largest cities following the October 2023 merger of legacy firms Correa Merino Agudelo Abogados — centred in Medellín — and Bogotá-based corporate and competition boutique, Serrano Martínez. The combined firm is particularly geared towards regulatory work, where it excels in competition and antitrust, and also stands out in mid-market M&A, among other areas. The Medellín office is home to Camilo Merino, who serves as co-head of the M&A department and specialises in corporate, M&A, and private equity transactions; he recently advised Seguros de Vida Suramericana 0n SURA’s acquisition of a majority stake in Longevo. Real estate head Juan Esteban Agudelo, who additionally co-leads the dispute resolution area, is also highly recommended; he recently advised Mexican pharmaceutical chain Farmacias de Similares on its expansion into Colombia. Other senior practitioners in Medellín include labour and employment co-head Darío Ramírez and tax co-head Sebastián Correa Ruíz. A strong bench of associate practice directors includes Michelle Visbal (tax), Alejandro Medina (corporate and M&A), and Sebastián Morales Agudelo (corporate and compliance). Senior associate Dayana Parra (labour and employment) is also noted.
