In a major coup, Gómez-Pinzón Abogados merged with Madrid-headquartered Pérez-Llorca in July 2025 to provide the Colombian platform with access to additional corporate specialists in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico. Lawyers in the newly combined corporate and M&A practice are widely lauded for their ‘creativity, discipline, and ability to offer practical and secure solutions’. Combining strong skill sets in transactional and regulatory work, the team’s prowess encompasses the full gamut of M&A, tender offers, private equity deals, restructurings and regulatory filings with authorities, among other areas. Corporate and M&A expert Lina Uribe García spearheads the department and recently advised DV Care Netherlands on the bidding process for (and subsequent acquisition of), four renal care services businesses operated by Fresenius Medical Care. Ana Cristina Jaramillo is praised for her ’work, commitment, and talent’ and advised the shareholders of Greendipity on the sale of a majority stake in the company to Grupo Fierro. Natalia García Arenas is commended for her ‘very high-level professional profile’ and is particularly noted for her growing presence in private equity work; she recently advised KKR on the acquisition of Tigo Colombia’s telecommunications tower business unit. Other experienced corporate practitioners include Juan David Quintero and senior veteran Jose Luis Suárez, who paired up to advise the Gilinski Family on the takeover of Grupo Nutresa, as well as energy and natural resources head Patricia Arrázola, and corporate and commercial partner María Isabel Romero de la Torre. The practice further benefits from a strong band of dedicated non-partners including counsel María Fernanda Restrepo, and senior associates Daniela Romero, Paola Valderrama and Francisco Pamplona. Former senior associates Emanuela Guevara and Juan Pablo Caicedo left the firm in May and September 2024, respectively.
