‘A committed team that always anticipates issues and prepares cases carefully’, the former Gómez-Pinzón Abogados –now Pérez-Llorca following their July 2025 merger - fields a full-spectrum litigation practice that handles a broad scope of commercial, civil and administrative disputes. The group is particularly active in cases involving construction, insurance, energy and commercial distribution matters, but its experience encompasses the full range of contentious work. Key partner David Araque possesses a strong record in disputes concerning investment projects; he is advising Transportadora de Gas Internacional in a commercial dispute brought by Ismocol concerning an alleged breach of a contract related to the construction of a gas pipeline in Colombia. Araque co-heads the department alongside experienced of counsel William Araque. The group additionally draws on a deep bench of associates, including senior Carlos Alberto León, who specialises in civil and commercial litigation; senior Samuel Hernández Lizarazu, who has supported on both judicial and arbitral proceedings; senior Juan Guillermo Otero, who has a significant public law dimension to his practice; and intermediate Daniela Velásquez. Additionally, senior Jorge Rodríguez and intermediate Mario Alejandro Carrillo joined from Lloreda Camacho & Co. and Medellín & Durán Abogados in June and September 2023, respectively; the former replacing senior Loredana De Trizio who moved in house at Grupo Energía Bogotá. In an additional boost in July 2024, the firm welcomed the return of former managing partner Alejandro Linares, who rejoined following an eight-year stint as Justice of the Colombian Constitutional Court.

Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
‘A young but experienced group of lawyers mixed with the experience of other seasoned lawyers at the partner level. It is a committed team that always anticipates issues and prepares cases carefully. Perhaps there are offices with similar qualities, but we have done well with Gómez-Pinzón.’
‘We value lawyers for their experience in this area, for their constant reporting on cases, and for treating causes as their own. I highlight the work of David Araque, Carlos Alberto León and Juan Guillermo Otero.’
