Gómez-Pinzón Abogados’ transformational July 2025 merger with incoming Spanish firm Pérez-Llorca provides the Colombian tax practice with further cross-border firepower — international tax was already a core area for the local team. Among the department’s other strengths, it is a popular choice for tax planning, corporate reorganisations, transactional tax, transfer pricing and administrative litigation. Key figures include department head Mauricio Piñeros, who is widely regarded as a leading light for his high-level expertise in both contentious and non-contentious tax. He recently represented Puerto de Mamonal in a dispute before the DIAN concerning the disallowance of expenses for tax purposes. Álvaro Andrés Díaz specialises in tax litigation and transfer pricing, where he stands out for his ‘knowledge and professionalism’; he successfully represented Prime Termoflores in tax litigation seeking to reverse an unfavourable trial court decision. The practice also draws on a talented duo of next-generation partners in Carolina Bobillier, who is recommended for tax planning and transactional matters; and Alejandro Sanabria, who brings niche expertise in the structuring of financial instruments. A strong second line of associates includes seniors Alejandro Sotello (whose work spans international tax, transaction structuring and litigation) and Carlos Lemos (who is ’very diligent’); and intermediates Manuela Orozco and Alejandro Duarte. Javier Orozco left the firm in June 2025.
