‘An interdisciplinary team with strong knowledge and capacity in dispute resolution’, Garrigues is primarily recognised for the strength of its work in infrastructure disputes. The firm’s international platform marks it as a popular choice for multinational clients, including OHL and Frontera Energy, but it also acts for domestic entities. Department head Alberto Acevedo impresses with his ability to ’direct the procedural action towards the recognition and protection of the rights of his client’. The group also includes counsel Guillermo León Ramírez Torres, who joined in April 2023 from the Superintendence of Corporations; senior associate María Carolina Sarmiento; and senior associate Daniel Quintero, who returned from study leave abroad in October 2023.
