Posse Herrera Ruiz

Leveraging its prominent corporate and international offerings, Posse Herrera Ruiz primarily shines in representing corporate borrowers and foreign lenders on banking and finance work. In terms of its profile in the latter segment, the team retains good links with an array of multinational banks, alternative lenders and multilaterals. On the borrower side, the group is well versed in domestic and cross-border commercial loans, project financings, acquisition finance transactions and regulatory issues, among other matters. Seasoned firm co-founder Mariana Posse is an instantly recognisable name for banking and finance work in Colombia and co-heads the department together with talented next-generation partner Natalia Escobar. Among Escobar’s recent highlights, she acted for Aligned Data Centers, as borrower, on a $1.2bn financing to support its acquisition of ODATA. Also noted at partner level is Jesús Albarrán, who acted as Colombian counsel to Camposol Colombia on a $40m revolving credit facility granted to Camposol and Camposol Colombia. Key senior associates Catalina Posada and Medellin-based Julián Aguirre provide support. In August 2023, Juan José Huertas joined from Winston & Strawn LLP in New York; subsequently promoted to director in March 2024, he brings significant experience in cross-border transactions.
