Pinilla González & Prieto Abogados’ corporate offering is held up by clients for ‘the dedication of the assigned attorneys’. The firm’s signature real estate practice ensures that the team is geared up to advise real estate and construction companies on M&A and general corporate matters, but it also recently handled deals involving the education, life sciences, retail and TMT areas. Julián Rojas co-heads the practice and specialises in M&A, company incorporations and general advisory matters; he recently acted for US-based Powell Electrycal Systems on the negotiation of a contract with Ecopetrol. Additional key contacts include fellow co-head Camilo Hermida, who advises on corporate, commercial, and real estate work; and dedicated associates Lina Maria Ospina and María Fernanda Ortiz. Subsequent to the conclusion of research, the above team has departed the firm (effective as of June 2025), since when Claudia Mora Uscátegui and Carlos Felipe Pinilla have taken over leadership of the practice. Commercial and energy law expert, Mora, has experience in M&A, spin offs and other transactional matters, along with debt issuances; while firm founding partner Pinilla is a real estate and disputes specialist.
