Brigard Urrutia maintains a holistic approach to tax law, with its ability to ‘address complex matters from a comprehensive perspective’ a recurring theme among clients. The practice advises domestic and foreign companies across all of Colombia’s key economic sectors on a range of advisory, transactional and contentious tax, with notable experience in international taxation, high-stakes disputes and innovative transactional issues. Tax litigation head Catalina Jaramillo is recommended for her ability to ’explain complex concepts and situations in simple language’. Among her recent highlights, she successfully represented Indra Colombia against the Colombian Tax Office in a COP$9bn tax dispute. Rounding out the partner group are Andrés Hernández, who focuses on tax planning and advisory work, and up-and-coming specialist Daniel Duque. The team is further supported by Nicolás Mondragón, promoted to senior associate in November 2024, and senior associate Camilo Gamboa, who joined from Godoy the same month. Adrián Rodríguez left to establish his own boutique in August 2024.
