Real estate is a mainstay at UH Abogados, with the Medellín-based firm highlighted for its ‘specific specialisation in the real estate field’. The practice provides comprehensive coverage of the sector but it is arguably best known for its close relationships with leading local construction and retail companies — including CrearCimientos Propiedad Raíz and Almacenes Flamingo — which it advises on an array of corporate and development matters. Transactional real estate specialists Carolina Uribe and Carlos Fernando Henao co-head the group. The team also includes ten-year associate María Adelaida Zapata, whose ’precision and clarity stand out when advising on a process’.
