VM Legal

Medellín-based corporate and tax law boutique VM Legal has been a prominent operator in the local legal market since its establishment in 2012. The firm acts for a diverse mix of domestic and multinational companies and private clients, with experience across regulatory compliance, transactional support and contentious work. The practice is led jointly by firm co-founders Adriana Melo and Beatriz Villegas, both of whom leverage significant expertise in tax, corporate and foreign exchange matters. Alongside the two key partners, the team draws on several associates, including Ana María Tobón, who specialises in corporate, commercial and tax advice; Sergio Duque, who handles tax, commercial and foreign exchange matters; and Sebastián Zapata Rincón, who has a focus on tax disputes. In November 2023, associate Laura Sanin left to join the in-house team at Bancolombia. Since publication, Duque has left to co-found his own firm - effective as of January 2025.
