Dispute resolution stalwart Arrubla Devis Asociados houses a prominent arbitration offering, while its litigation team is considered among the leading practices in Colombia. Founded in Medellín in 1988, the firm additionally maintains a thriving Bogotá platform and — while its home city remains its official headquarters — its key partners are split between the two offices. Medellín remains the base of founding partner Jaime Alberto Arrubla Paucar, who is a former President of the Supreme Court of Justice; he acted alongside Rafael McCausland (who is based in Bogotá) to represent Marina Park in litigation against the Colombian State concerning the illegal revocation of a maritime concession. The Medellín practice also draws on litigation head Gustavo Amaya Yepes; associate director Sebastián Montoya, who is noted for dispute resolution and corporate work; and associate director Cristina Arrubla, who handles judicial and arbitral disputes. In Bogotá Jaime Esteban Arrubla Devis is recommended for civil and administrative litigation. In April 2024, associate director Carolina Boada left to go freelance.
