The public law team at Posse Herrera Ruiz works across several firm departments to seamlessly provide ‘practical and assertive advice’ to an array of energy and infrastructure entities, construction companies and concessionaires, among others. Covering a broad scope of matters, the group demonstrates robust skill sets in government contracting, licensing and permitting procedures, regulatory compliance and public law litigation. Cristina Vásquez fronts the infrastructure and public law offering and contributes experience in project structuring, development and financing. The practice also draws on dispute resolution co-heads Daniel Posse and Carolina Posada, newly promoted (December 2024) litigator Daniela Corchuelo, and dispute resolution-focused associate Juan David Fiallo.
