About

Andrea Eugenia Camargo Niño, legal director, leads the talented in-house legal team at Odinsa. With seven members, the team is divided into functions based on each lawyer’s skillset and different areas of the company. It has lawyers focused on different issues such as financial affairs, corporate, roads and airports. Camargo Niño identifies that ‘the success of the team is due to our interdisciplinary focus. Our lawyers have education and expertise in different areas, such as finance, public law, private law, international law and environment’. The Odinsa legal team has changed its structure, since it used to be divided in two areas, international projects and national projects, without making any distinction on the type of project. Now, Odinsa works as a holding structure, serving its different companies and projects. Hence why the lawyers are now assigned to the different areas, namely, airports, roads, finance and corporate. Camargo Niño explains that, ‘this allows the lawyers to be more specialised and have more contact with the technical departments, which allows a better intervention by the legal team’. Highlights of the last year include the team’s participation in various large and successful issuances of bonds both at a national and international level for some of the group’s companies. The team achieved several refinancing contracts for projects to make them competitive and worked on corporate governance restructuring with the implementation of new policies, committees and training.
