Lawyers in Castro Leiva Rendón Abogados’s public law team are commended for providing ‘personalised and timely attention informed by their knowledge of recent precedents’. The group is particularly weighted towards representing concessionaires and construction companies, with strong recent showings in advising on public bids, infrastructure contracts, public procurement and sanctioning procedures. The transport sector remains a significant source of work, while the practice is additionally increasing its share of water and sewage projects, with department co-head José Ignacio Leiva recently advising a construction consortium on a sewage-pumping station in the City of Bogotá. The department also benefits from the experience of practice co-head Marcela Castro, who is highly regarded for projects and infrastructure work; and Natalia Uribe, who advises on public law, state contracts and alternative dispute resolution.
