The Bogotá labour and employment team at Miami-headquartered Holland & Knight is acclaimed for its ‘effectiveness, clarity and assertiveness’. The firm’s extensive international network ensures strong ties with multinational employers — with Softys and Phillips among its representative clients — while it also acts for leading domestic companies. The group is co-led by the ’deeply committed’ Camilo Cuervo Diaz, whose practice spans consulting, collective bargaining and labour litigation; and Diego Acevedo, who advises on individual and collective labour law, as well as social security. Key associates include intermediate Juan Pablo Romero and junior Mariangela Cáceres.
