Colombia > Banking and finance
(Next Generation Partners)The banking and finance practice at Holland & Knight is held up by sources as ‘focused on the needs of the client and on making transactions viable’. The growing group added an impressive raft of new clients during 2023/24, which included an array of banks, alternative lenders and payment companies, including Coöperatieve Rabobank, Mercado Pago and Banco de Crédito del Perú. Arguably best known for his capital markets prowess, Camilo Gantiva also handles a significant volume of transactional and regulatory banking matters; he recently acted alongside the Miami office to advise Banco Davivienda on regulatory issues regarding cross-border operations with its affiliates and US branches. The group further benefits from the considerable experience of Juliana Saa, whose broad practice encompasses corporate, banking and finance, capital markets and commercial law; and Bogotá managing partner Enrique Gómez‐Pinzón, who operates from the Bogotá and Washington DC offices. Intermediate associate Juan Felipe Fontecha provides additional support to the capital markets, and banking and finance teams.
