Distinguished by its breadth and depth across all three pillars of TMT law, Brigard Urrutia’s team stands out for its ‘assertiveness when issuing opinions or recommendations’. The practice acts for major domestic and global telecoms, technology, and media companies in regulatory and transactional matters, while additionally supporting non-TMT entities on data privacy and AI issues. Sergio Michelsen Jaramillo brings an impressive record in representing TMT companies and private equity clients on large-scale transactions, and is also sought after for complex regulatory mandates. Notably, he recently advised Armada Systems on establishing its presence in Colombia, including regulatory compliance concerning the Internet of Things (IoT), edge computing, satellite connectivity and AI-driven services. Following the February 2025 departure of former practice director Juan Nicolás Laverde , the firm moved rapidly to bring in the experienced Andrés Fernández de Castro Muñoz in April; formerly practice director at Gómez Pinzón Abogados, he has extensive experience across telecoms, technology and data privacy. Clients further highlight associate Juan Manuel Pacheco and junior associate Nicolás Albornoz as ’very willing and collaborative’. Associate Laura Huérfano departed in August 2024 to study abroad.
