Valued for its ability to ‘balance legal needs with practical alternatives’, Brigard Urrutia’s growing compliance and white-collar crime practice added a raft of new clients during 2024/25, including Amazon Web Services and UBS. Associate practice director Ricardo Forero ’conveys a sense of calm and reliability’, and specialises in criminal and corporate law, compliance (including FCPA matters), investigations and international tax planning. Associate support is provided by intermediates María Camila Sarria and Lina María Domínguez (who joined in June 2024 from Pinilla González & Prieto Abogados). Former senior associate Catalina Riveros left in June 2024 to study abroad.
