According to satisfied clients, Posse Herrera Ruiz stands out for the ‘experience and knowledge of its partners’, who provide ’personalised attention and permanent availability’. The group’s other key assets, as identified by sources, include its comprehensive industry coverage and its formidably deep bench, which draws on the skill sets of four specialist dispute resolution partners. Department co-head Daniel Posse is regarded by many as a reference in the market due to his experience in representing clients in complex proceedings in all of Colombia’s courts as well as before major domestic and international arbitral venues. Posse is spearheading the team’s advice to new client, Grupo Nutresa, in contentious matters connected to Grupo Gilinski’s headline-grabbing attempted hostile takeover of Grupo Nutresa, Grupo Sura, and Grupo Argos. Fellow practice co-head Carolina Posada is highlighted as a ‘close, creative, available partner who empowers her team’ and also brings to bear broad expertise in civil and administrative litigation, as well as national and international arbitration. Among Posada’s recent cases, she is representing Eladio Bueno, a British citizen, in an exequatur proceeding before the Supreme Court of Justice. Rounding out the partners’ group are Pablo Enrique Sierra, who specialises in litigation, and Juan Pablo Bonilla, who handles a mix of judicial and arbitral proceedings. The team is assisted by a deep pool of associates, including seniors Alejandro Casas, María Isabel Osorio, Laura Vengoechea and Pedro Miguel Álvarez (who was promoted to practice director in March 2024), as well as intermediates Juan David Fiallo and Medelllín-based Natalia Tobón — all of whom provide dedicated support to the dispute resolution group.

‘We recommend the team due to the experience and knowledge of its partners, especially Daniel Posse and Carolina Posada, who co-direct the practice and provide personalised attention and permanent availability. It is a very solid team, in size and in experience, knowledge and diversity.’
‘Daniel Posse and Carolina Posada make the perfect team. Their different skills complement each other in an incredible way. They are experts in what they do, and are leaders in arbitration and litigation at a national and international level in industries such as construction, health, trusts, retail, energy, etc.’
‘The team of lawyers organises itself very quickly to deal with a diversity of disputes in a very efficient and thorough manner. We value the team’s depth and commitment to handling each of the cases.’
‘The litigation and arbitration team at Posse Herrera Ruiz is robust, with more than 20 lawyers and 4 partners, who are personally in charge of serving their clients, whether large, medium or small.’
‘It is a diverse team, not only in terms of gender but also in the origin of its lawyers. There are lawyers from intermediate cities in the country, as well as from public and private universities. They strive to be up-to-date and it is normal to see them at conferences, academic events and even in the press.’
‘For me, the team's values and treatment are the differential. Lawyers are humble despite their experience and depth. They are always available and very frank in their assessments.’
‘I work with Carolina Posada, who co-directs the practice, and with her team, mainly Laura Vengoechea, Natalia Tobón, María Isabel Osorio and some issues with Juan David Fiallo. They are all exceptional, and it shows how Carolina inspires them. She is a close, creative, available partner who empowers her team.’
‘Carolina Posada doesn't promise more than she can get, and that's peace of mind, because she's honest and prefers not to delude me with baseless cases. It has saved me a lot of unnecessary wear and tear and that is something that, from a business point of view, distinguishes the firm from other law firms.’
