Posse Herrera Ruiz

Valued by clients as a ‘true ally, not just a legal services provider’, Posse Herrera Ruiz’s tax team demonstrates a ’business mindset’. Bringing to bear one of the largest tax benches in the market, the group advises across all key pillars of tax law, with strong offerings in transactional tax — where it frequently advises on multi-jurisdictional deals — as well as consultancy, regulatory compliance, restructurings, transfer pricing, and litigation. Widely revered as a dean of the Colombian tax bar, Juan Guillermo Ruiz heads the tax and international trade practice, and is a key contact for the full spectrum of contentious and non-contentious matters; he recently advised Repsol on structuring the sale of all its oil projects and assets in Colombia in a contested sales process between Ecopetrol and Geopark. Juan Camilo De Bedout specialises in tax litigation and leads the practice in Medellín; he recently represented Assist Card before the Council of State on defending a challenge from the Tax Authority concerning a VAT exemption. Jaime Gómez, who focuses on tax planning, international investment and private wealth, is also recommended. At associate level, Daniel Ortegón (tax consulting, planning, and international investment) and Sebastián Molano (tax and private wealth) are noted.
