According to some, insurance and dispute resolution boutique Tamayo Jaramillo & Asociados fields ‘the best offering in terms of insurance law’. Founded in Medellín in 1980, the firm additionally leverages a well-staffed Bogotá platform and is nationally regarded as a destination practice for contentious insurance work. The team enjoys close links with local insurance heavyweight Suramericana, while it also acts for major multinational insurers and reinsurers from its Medellín headquarters, including HDI Seguros and Chubb Seguros Colombia. Founding partner Javier Tamayo Jaramillo is considered by many as a reference in the market for insurance law and recently represented Inversiones Techcolombia in a dispute against its insurer, Seguros Bolívar. Other recommended names include Carlos Andres Gonzales Galvís, who has a focus on complex insurance litigation; next-generation insurance specialists Laura Castaño Echeverri and Daniel Ossa Gómez; dispute resolution partner Luis Miguel Gómez; and Margarita Rosa Jaramillo, who handles fiscal liability and insurance. Rising star associate, Daniel Bedoya, is also noted.

‘This practice is characterised by its highly specialised knowledge in insurance and liability issues, like few others in the country. Additionally, its partners are part of a group of scholars of jurisprudence and doctrine on these topics, which instils additional confidence in their opinions.’
‘In my opinion it is the best offering in terms of insurance law. Lawyers stand out for their transparency and professional activity.’
‘The firm is led by Javier Tamayo Jaramillo, but it leverages a young, diverse, passionate and disciplined work team. Lawyers have a great capacity to attend to legal requirements with legal depth and promptness.’
The dispute resolution area has been an important ally for us and, best of all, effective. We highlight its lawyers personalised attention and willingness to always serve the client; they are frank in saying when they cannot address an issue and that is valued in this environment.’
‘Laura Castaño Echeverri and Daniel Ossa Gómez have led the defence of complex matters for us in Colombia. Both are very smart and strategic lawyers and excellent writers. They have done a very good job co-ordinating a team to quickly prepare complex briefs and advise on issues.’
‘The Tamayo Jaramillo team has extensive experience in dispute resolution. Its advice combines great strength in the management of substantive law and great knowledge of procedural rules which allows it to adequately handle the substantive and procedural duality that arises in any litigation.’
‘It is unique. Firstly because it is in Medellin and that makes it 100% independent compared to the offices in the capital, which at a strategy level is very good because it always brings another vision.’
‘The team’s strengths are that it is very cordial, it is very close to the client and it stays on top of the detail. Carlos Andrés González and his team are very skilled in strategic litigation and civil liability.’
