CMS Rodríguez-Azuero’s multidisciplinary practice stands out for integrating traditional public law areas, such as public procurement and infrastructure projects, with capabilities in project finance and anti-corruption. Increasingly active on behalf of public-sector entities, the team added the Ministry of Cultures, Arts and Knowledge and Empresa Metro de Bogotá as new clients during 2024/25; it also advises major corporations - such as Google - on public contracting matters. Key contacts include Carlos Andrés Sánchez, who co-leads the infrastructure and projects, telecoms, and public procurement areas; project finance specialist Daniel Rodríguez; and dispute resolution co-heads Felipe Andrade and Henry Sanabria. Associate practice director Gigliana Rivero Ramirez and senior associate Paula Andrea Gutiérrez are also noted.
