Arrubla Devis Asociados

A nationally recognised dispute resolution specialist, Arrubla Devis Asociados brings together strong skills sets in arbitral and judicial disputes as well as public law litigation. From its bases in Medellín (where it was founded) and Bogotá, the team is particularly noted for its track record in litigation involving public-sector clients, where it acts for both state and corporate entities. The firm additionally secures a steady stream of commercial disputes' mandates. Few litigators in the country can rival the credentials of high-profile firm founder Jaime Alberto Arrubla Paucar, former chief justice of the Colombian Supreme Court and a former legal counsel to the President of Colombia. Arrubla, who is located in Medellín, recently paired up with Bogotá-based litigator Rafael McCausland to represent Marina Park in litigation against the Colombian State concerning the illegal revocation of a maritime concession. The team’s deep bench of Medellín-based litigators also draws on Cristina Arrubla, who was promoted to partner in June 2025; associate director Sebastián Montoya, who leads the litigation and arbitration practice for that office; and experienced associate director Gustavo Amaya Yepes. In Bogotá, managing partner Jaime Esteban Arrubla Devis is additionally noted for contentious work.
