CMS Rodríguez-Azuero

CMS Rodríguez-Azuero’s corporate and M&A practice demonstrates robust experience across all of Colombia’s key industry sectors, with particular expertise in heavily regulated industries such as financial services — including fintech — technology, life sciences and retail. The group also differentiates itself through its ability to plug into the wider firm’s extensive international network for support in multi-jurisdictional matters. Juan Camilo Rodríguez spearheads the group and recently showcased the team’s strong cross-border credentials with his advice to Elektrophoenix on the acquisition of a Colombian engineering company. The group additionally includes corporate and energy specialist Leopoldo Olavarría, who was promoted to partner in March 2023. Key names at associate level include corporate associate director Felipe Molano, who arrived from Dentons Cardenas & Cardenas in February 2023, and intermediate associate Lina Barreto. Two recent departures saw former associate practice director Camilo Caicedo become a paralegal at Foley Hoag LLP in Washington DC, while senior associate María Garrido  was appointed Head of Legal at Finkargo.
