Arrubla Devis

Arrubla Devis Asociados’ key partners are split between its Medellín and Bogotá offices, ensuring that it remains a key player in the former market despite its growing profile. The firm’s sharp focus on dispute resolution —it is ranked nationally for arbitration and litigation— is underpinned by solid offerings in contracts, corporate and M&A, labour and employment, and public law, among others. Acting for a mix of corporate and public sector entities, the group recently added new clients Boston Medical Group and Acción Sociedad Fiduciaria to its books, demonstrating its diverse industry focus. Medellín-based founding partner Jaime Alberto Arrubla Paucar is ‘knowledgeable like few others’; a former President of the Supreme Court of Justice, he possesses more than 40 years of experience as a trial lawyer. Arrubla continues to represent the National State Agency for Judicial Defence (ANDJE) in a major arbitration against the Colombian State, regarding the alleged breach of a concession contract by the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI). Other key names in Medellín include litigation head Gustavo Amaya Yepes and associate director Sebastián Montoya, who handles dispute resolution and corporate work. In Bogotá Jaime Esteban Arrubla Devis and Rafael McCausland are noted for their activity in both transactional and contentious matters, while associate director Carolina Boada specialises in public law.
