Lawyers at Tamayo Jaramillo & Asociados secure strong praise for their ‘deep knowledge of procedural rules and substantive law’ as well as for being ’open to explore different legal options’. The team’s prominent insurance practice is a significant driver of its contentious work, and it is predominantly recognised for its activity in civil liability disputes, including contractual non-compliance, environmental contamination, product liability and medical malpractice, among other market segments. Insurance specialist and founding partner Javier Tamayo Jaramillo is ‘an authority on aspects of responsibility’ and co-heads the practice together with Laura Castaño Echeverri, who specialises in civil liability, insurance, and contract disputes. Echeverri is currently acting in conjunction with Daniel Ossa Gómez to advise the owners and inhabitants of the ’Space’ building in a group action seeking compensation for damages caused by deficiencies in its construction. The team also includes Luis Miguel Gómez, whose practice spans judicial and arbitral cases; risk analysis partner Carlos Andrés González; and associates Daniel Bedoya and Luis David Pérez.
