Cuatrecasas

Cuatrecasas houses a specialised arbitration practice, which packs a punch in complex cases involving construction, energy, maritime law, insurance, state contracts and corporate disputes, among other issues. Equally adept in domestic and international arbitrations, the firm’s ability to draw on its wider global network is a significant differentiator in terms of the latter and it regularly acts in proceedings under ICC, UNCITRAL, ICDR, and ICSID rules, alongside disputes administered by leading Colombian arbitral institutions. High-profile department co-head Alberto Zuleta is a go-to sector specialist and led a slew of sophisticated commercial and investor-state matters during 2025/26, including advising on two international arbitrations under ICDR rules. Juan Sebastián Lombana co-heads the group and is currently advising on high-stakes arbitral disputes in the construction, telecoms, utilities, real estate and energy spheres. The team also benefits from the support of several talented associates including senior María Fernanda Díaz, who focuses on domestic and international arbitration and litigation; and senior Andrés Nossa, who also maintains a comprehensive dispute resolution practice.
