Kennedys

In the ultimate accolade, the Bogotá arm of global insurance powerhouse Kennedys is lauded both for its ‘understanding of localised issues in relation to policy coverage’, as well as for its ’understanding of the needs of foreign clients’. The firm’s dedication to insurance law is evidenced by its comprehensive practice that spans the full range of services, with particularly dominant offerings in construction and property, financial lines and marine insurance. Department head Mónica Tocarruncho contributes extensive expertise in complex insurance coverage disputes across all key lines, including construction, property, financial lines and cyber; she continues to act alongside the London office on behalf od Mapfre Seguros Generales de Colombia (as the cedant), and numerous reinsurers, in a subrogation action against the designer of the Ituango Project. A go-to name for shipping and transport insurance, Mauricio Carvajal García recently acted for a group of reinsurers following a severe marine incident involving the vessels Ria de Aldan and Canaima. The group also includes next-generation partner Catalina Botero, who handles the full spectrum of insurance matters, as well as senior associates Pilar Giraldo and Liceth Alza.
