Gómez-Pinzón Abogados (GPA)
More informationFull-service powerhouse Gómez-Pinzón Abogados maintains a nimble operation in Medellín, which is staffed by one partner and nine additional lawyers. The team, which is highlighted as ‘proactive in finding solutions, and diligent’, is overseen by office head Adriana Moreno Márquez, who is a multidisciplinary transactional specialist with a broad service offering that encompasses the banking, finance, capital markets, corporate and M&A, and infrastructure areas. Among Moreno Márquez’s recent highlights, she represented Isagen in the negotiation of a $150m credit agreement with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation. The local group also draws on a capable pool of associates, including senior Catalina Arango, who specialises in intellectual property work but also provides support on transactional matters. The Medellín office additionally benefits from its ability to draw on resources from across the wider firm for support in large-scale or cross-practice matters. In February 2023, intermediate associate Antonio Elcure left to join Tigo Colombia.
