Baker McKenzie S.A.S.

During 2023/24, the capital markets team at Baker McKenzie S.A.S. kept busy advising on matters concerning private equity funds, which are notably subject to capital markets regulation in Colombia. Historically, the group is also recognised for its activity on the debt capital markets front, where it benefits from its ability to leverage the wider firm’s extensive international platform to support clients on multi-jurisdictional offerings and regulatory issues. Next-generation partner Ricardo Trejos is a key contact for structured finance, debt capital markets and private equity funds; he recently advised Transportadora de Gas Internacional on a $547.6m derivative transaction. Rounding out the key partners are private equity and M&A head Andrés Crump; and Natalia Ponce de León, who was promoted to partner in January 2024 and specialises in private equity, M&A and corporate law. Corporate and commercial-focused senior associate Juliana Gómez is also noted.
