Forming an increasingly significant part of Cuatrecasas’ global dispute resolution offering, the Colombia litigation group stands as a ‘proactive and agile team’, according to satisfied clients. Predominantly active in cases involving administrative law elements, the group also handles commercial litigation, corporate disputes, and contentious competition matters. Dispute resolution specialist Alberto Zuleta earns praise for his ’admirable experience and knowledge’, which spans all judicial realms including commercial and administrative proceedings. Zuleta co-heads the practice together with Juan Sebastián Lombana, who recently (November 2024) joined from Novit Abogados and is particularly noted for energy and infrastructure-related work. Principal associate María Fernanda Díaz is ‘very attentive and strategic’.
