Spain-headquartered Garrigues houses a robust dispute resolution group in Bogotá, which is frequently engaged to represent domestic and multinational companies in local and cross-border litigation. The one-partner team is particularly active in disputes concerning heavily regulated industries, such as construction, energy, real estate and healthcare, but it is equipped to handle contentious work across all business sectors. Dual-qualified in New York and Colombia, group head Alberto Acevedo is well-positioned to advise on judicial and arbitral proceedings with an international dimension. The department welcomed two new senior associates in 2022: María Carolina Sarmiento joined in May from a Brazilian international arbitration boutique, while Lina Marcela Moreno arrived in September from the legal department of the Council of State of Colombia. Senior associate Ángela María Rueda left to join Frontera Energy in September 2022, while associate Daniel Quintero left in August 2022 to study abroad.
