In September 2023, Pilonieta Alvarez Abogados Laboralistas strengthened its relationship with national labour and employment firm Chapman Wilches, with the latter acquiring 51% of the former (both firms maintain their independent branding). Its relationship with Chapman Wilches provides the Bucaramanga-based boutique with the potential for broader geographical coverage and supports its already robust practices in collective bargaining, occupational health and safety, dispute resolution, and recruitment, among other areas. At partner level Eduardo Pilonieta Pinilla and Patricia Álvarez Ribero are recommended for the full range of collective and individual labour law, while senior associates Diana Sepúlveda Reyes and Diana Carolina Ortiz Vargas provide effective support.
