The July 2025 merger between Gómez-Pinzón Abogados and incoming Spanish firm Pérez-Llorca positions the combined entity as an attractive option to multinational clients seeking advice on Colombian trade issues. The team, which is valued for its ‘knowledge and proactivity in working with customs authorities’, is set apart through its focus on customs law, including regulatory compliance and litigation. The team additionally advises on free-trade zones, free-trade agreements and foreign exchange issues, among other matters. Next-generation partner Nicolás Potdevin Stein leads the practice and is widely recognised as a customs specialist. The group also includes experienced senior associate Yamile Yomayusa, whose focus spans customs regulations, trade agreements and tariff classifications. Of counsel Andrea Mora Ramírez left the firm in December 2024.
