Goh’s international trade focus is concentrated on transactional support matters, with the team particularly specialising in customs tax-related issues, where it can leverage its dominant tax offering. The group also has experience in advising on free trade zones, free-trade agreements and customs litigation, among other work. Founding partner Juan Pablo Godoy heads the department and combines strength in tax, international trade, and energy and natural resources matters. The practice was recently boosted by the hire of two customs and trade lawyers from Ernst & Young - Bogotá: of counsel Gustavo Lorenzo and senior associate Nicolás Torres both joined in October 2023. Former associate director, Andrea Caicedo, left the firm in November 2023.
