As Colombia’s leading environmental law boutique, Ucrós & Asociados Abogados SAS’s specialist practice finds favour for its ‘deep understanding of environmental law’, as well as for its ’strong legal and technical skills’. The team covers the full spectrum of related matters, with its recent experience encompassing regulatory advice, project tenders, permitting procedures and environmental investigations, among other issues. A former adviser to the Office of the Minister of the Environment, founding partner Juan Carlos Ucrós fronts the department and is singled out for his ‘almost-immediate solution capacity’. Ucrós recently advised Termotécnica Coindustrial on the environmental aspects of its successful bid for the expansion of the Rafael Nuñez International Airport. Senior attorney John Iván Nova also attracts praise for his ability to provide ’practical solutions’.

Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘A great asset of this firm is that it has its own technical team, which allows it to provide comprehensive legal and technical advice. This is extremely important in environmental matters because the regulations are fundamentally technical and require both technical and legal interpretation for their implementation.’

  • ‘An excellent group of professionals dedicated to their clients. Both Juan Carlos Ucrós and John Iván Nova are lawyers with more than 25 years of experience and serve clients directly. This makes a huge difference, as the client always has a highly experienced lawyer answering questions.’
