Lawyers at ECIJA Colombia ‘seek to provide assertive and disruptive solutions’, according to sources. The litigation group is closely aligned with the firm’s prominent competition practice, which sees the team mainly engaged to advise on antitrust-related cases. That being said, it also has experience in civil, commercial, and administrative litigation. Competition and regulatory law experts Pablo Márquez and Julio Castañeda co-head a department that also includes six-year associate Jorge Mario González, who specialises in antitrust and dispute resolution. Associate Nasser Obando left the firm in November 2022.
