About

Microsoft’s brand is known across the world, with a revenue of $85bn generated from its IT hardware and software solutions. Protecting Microsoft’s existing products across hundreds of countries, as well as supporting the launch of products that are so innovative they may not be immediately subject to regulation, is a task that necessitates one of the best legal teams in the world. This high standard has carried across to the Colombian legal team, which has undoubtedly facilitated Microsoft’s growth in the country in recent years. Andres Felipe Umaña-Chaux is the corporate, external and legal affairs lead for Microsoft Colombia, and has used his exceptional knowledge of IT law, intellectual property (IP), compliance and government affairs to build a team that is known to be one of the best in the market. As an example of this depth of talent, Lina María Mosquera Gonzalez, IP and cybersecurity counsel, was recognised in the 2016 GC Powerlist for her tireless work to promote the protection of IP rights, increase knowledge of data privacy, enforce anti-piracy measures and generally support cybersecurity measures in Colombia.
