Pérez-Llorca, which entered the Colombian market in July 2025 following its merger with local firm Gómez-Pinzón Abogados, fields a labour and employment team that ‘clearly presents risks so that internal decisions can be made’. Historically recognised for its focus on corporate support matters, the practice also handles compliance, restructuring and — increasingly — judicial and administrative litigation. Recently promoted partner (January 2025) Mauricio Montealegre spearheads the group and advises on compensation schemes, labour audits, M&A-related matters and litigation. The team further comprises senior associate Natalia Suárez Caicedo, along with intermediate associates Lina Tapiero and Daniela Mendieta.
