About

Driven by the ‘constant search for schemes that generate value for the organisation,’ Decameron All-Inclusive Hotels & Resorts’ Juan Pablo Barrera Ulloa, uses his broad wealth of experience of legal service provision to deliver as the company’s legal vice president. A hotel chain with a strong international presence, which is ‘devoted to amusing, entertaining, de-stressing and brightening the lives of everyone who enjoys [their] services’, the company is also involved in tour and ground-handling operators and hotel management businesses. In his just over two years at Decameron All-Inclusive Hotels & Resorts, with a hard reporting line into the regional general director, Barrera Ulloa is responsible for a broad base of legal, regulatory and commercial matters. These include corporate, commercial and regulatory issues, competition law, consumer protection, dispute resolution, designing and implementing regulatory compliance programs, and advising on commercial and operational risks. Barrera Ulloa comments ‘it’s a challenge to attend the legal necessities of an organisation of more than 10,000 people and with a presence in various countries on the continent’. As a result of his experience of in-house positions at influential companies like Organizacion Corona, Ernst & Young and Anderson Legal, as well as private practice experience with leading Colombian law firm Prietocarrizosa, Barrera Ulloa continually seeks to brand his in-house teams with a results-focused style of practice that is characterised by attention to the client and strong adherence to high standards of legal advice more expected of private practice law firms.
