We specialize in domestic and international arbitration, complex litigation, and alternative dispute resolution, with particular strength in cross-border matters. We anticipate risks, design strategies for high-stakes environments, and advocate with precision, depth and sound legal judgment.
We represent clients in international arbitrations under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), and the Bogotá Chamber of Commerce, among others. Our team advises on the negotiation and drafting of arbitration agreements and guides clients through every stage of the process—from pre-dispute strategy and risk assessment to the conduct of the proceedings and enforcement of awards. We have deep sector experience in a variety of industries, including infrastructure, mining, energy, and oil & gas.

We represent public and private entities in negotiating arbitration agreements and throughout all stages of the arbitral process—from the selection of arbitrators to the conduct of hearings. We appear before Colombia’s leading arbitration centers, including the Bogotá and Barranquilla Chambers of Commerce.
We assist clients with the recognition and enforcement of international arbitral awards, as well as with annulment and constitutional (tutela) actions challenging domestic and international awards, ensuring the protection of both procedural integrity and substantive outcomes.
We design strategies to resolve disputes through conciliation, mediation, settlement agreements, amicable composition, dispute boards, and other alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, with a focus on tangible outcomes that can be implemented in both local and international contexts.
