Lloreda Camacho & Co.’s dispute resolution practice is marked by its strong international focus, with its client list primarily composed of multinational companies in the life sciences, consumer, manufacturing and TMT spheres. Class actions are a notable strong suit — in line with the IP heavyweight’s dominant regulatory offering — and it recently secured victories in two major class actions, where it represented global corporations in pharmaceutical and tobacco litigation totalling over $500m. The department is led jointly by Gustavo Tamayo, who additionally heads the TMT group and is noted for his strong telecoms expertise; and Christian Pérez Rueda, who was promoted to partner in August 2023 and maintains a comprehensive dispute resolution focus; together, they led the class action cases. Senior associate Jimmy Buenaventura provides additional practice support. In July 2023, senior associate Esteban Isaza joined from Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, where he was a professor. Senior associate Jorge Rodríguez left the firm in June 2023.
