About

The expert legal team consisting of 11 talented lawyers at ATC is a well-known force in the telecommunications industry in Colombia. It is led by Victor Enrique Cuéllar Olarte, legal and public affairs director, and is supported by senior lawyers including corporate legal manager Ana Bula, permits and licensing manager Vania Arenas, and property manager Alejandro Urueta. In the last year the company integrated the permits and licensing team into the legal team, which added more people and solidified the legal department in terms of what it can offer the company. It has been innovating its way of work looking for best practices and improving its service to both internal and external clients. Recent transaction highlights include the awarding of 1,200 new site bidding processes, purchasing sites for TIGO, and the team recently won a contract to build the fibre network for a client GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Networks) to be deployed in four years time. Cuéllar highlights that the team is adept at ‘giving the best legal business support with quality and in a timely manner and focusing on the solutions not the problems. We hear our clients, we prioritise with the business and them and we make them comfortable about our deliverables by compromising deadlines and always focusing on what the best solution is’.
