TMT
CMS Rodríguez-Azuero’s TMT practice receives strong praise for its ‘innovative and disruptive spirit in building legal solutions in a dynamic and challenging industry’. The group has extensive expertise in regulatory and contentious matters relating to the technology, media and telecoms fields; with its reputation in the former segment particularly prominent due to its relationships with Google and several dominant e-commerce platforms. Lorenzo Villegas-Carrasquilla is a former chairman of the telecoms regulator and heads a team that includes talented senior associate María Camila Piedrahita. The group was significantly strengthened in July 2023 with the hire of former practice co-head Carlos Andrés Sánchez and senior associate Gigliana Rivero Ramirez (both from Durán & Osorio Abogados Asociados), with the latter arriving as associate director for infrastructure & projects, telecommunications and public procurement. Since research concluded, Piedrahita has left the firm - effective as of August 2023.
