Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría

Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría’s Colombian competition practice forms a key part of its integrated regional offering, which also includes well-staffed platforms in Chile and Peru. The team’s international outlook ensures that it demonstrates ‘extensive specific knowledge of the subject, not only regarding Colombian law but also comparative law’, which marks it as a solid choice for cross-border investigations and merger reviews. The group also provides support on unfair competition litigation, as well as regulatory and compliance issues. Department head Diego Cardona additionally co-leads the TMT area and contributes extensive expertise in merger control procedures, administrative investigations and judicial proceedings. Cardona is acting in conjunction with the dispute resolution practice to represent Visa in an investigation into alleged anti-competitive conduct in the market for payment services in cross-border transactions. In March 2024, competition-focused Saella Moreno was promoted to senior associate, while associate Natalia Castilla left to study abroad.
