As a boutique focused on public law, dispute resolution and regulatory work, Palacios Lleras is geared up to handle a wide range of public law matters. The practice is oriented towards contentious work, where it is a popular choice to represent major domestic and multinational corporations in administrative, judicial and arbitral disputes, including precedent-setting constitutional actions. Widely recognised as a reference in the market, Hugo Palacios Mejía is sought after for major public law cases; he is defending Avianca in a constitutional action alleging that it violated collective rights related to the antitrust and consumer rights regime. Palacios co-heads the group together with infrastructure litigation specialist Óscar Gutiérrez; Pedro Pacheco, who possesses extensive experience in constitutional litigation and class actions; and public law litigator Luis Miguel Falla.
