DAC Beachcroft Colombia

Forming a key part of the international firm’s global insurance offering, DAC Beachcroft Colombia’s Bogotá-based group enjoys close links with major multinational insurance companies, which frequently utilise the team as a hub for the wider Latin American region. Notably, the office continues to grow its roster, as evidenced by the recent addition of new clients Allianz Colombia, Berkley Re and Swiss Re Colombia Oficina de Representación, among others. The practice handles a broad scope of regulatory, compliance and contentious matters but it is primarily recognised for its extensive expertise in high-value claims, where it acts for insurers and reinsurers across the Lloyd’s, London, European and US markets. Office head Juan Diego Arango leads the department and specialises in claims involving the financial lines, engineering, civil liability and aviation spheres. The group also draws on Camila de la Torre, who is highly regarded for her experience in civil liability and commercial law; up-and-coming insurance specialist Ana Catalina Restrepo, who recently advised Zurich Colombia Seguros on coverage of a claim triggering a D&O policy and also on the related fiscal liability proceeding; and senior associates Malory Zafra Sierra and Ángela Hernández, who provide dedicated support on insurance and reinsurance matters.
