The corporate and M&A team at Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA) is composed of lawyers who ‘stand out for their closeness and attention to detail’, according to satisfied clients. The full-spectrum practice is equipped to advise on a comprehensive scope of transactional, compliance and general advisory work, while it additionally benefits from its ability to lean on the wider firm’s complementary offerings in environment, tax and competition, among other areas. Experienced sector specialist Lina Uribe García spearheads the department and is noted for her broad transactional focus; she recently advised Mexico-headquartered JC & Holding on its acquisition of a 70% stake in Farmalogica. Natalia García Arenas led on several highlight matters during 2023/24, including advising Rhenus Group on the acquisition of Blu Logistics. Increasingly prominent next-generation partner Juan David Quintero is also a key contact; he recently paired up with administrative law and infrastructure partner Jose Luis Suárez to advise the Gilinski Family, through JGDB Holding and Nugil, on the exchange of Grupo Nutresa shares for Grupo Sura shares. Other recommended names at partner level are Ana Cristina Jaramillo, who brings to bear significant international experience; energy and natural resources head Patricia Arrázola; and the newly promoted (January 2024) María Isabel Romero de la Torre. The department also leans on a strong bench of non-partners, including experienced counsel María Fernanda Restrepo as well as senior associates Paola Valderrama, Emanuela Guevara, Juan Pablo Caicedo and Francisco Pamplona.
