Ibarra Abogados Rimon Law

‘Experts in handling high-profile and highly complex cases’, Ibarra Abogados Rimon Law is widely hailed for its specialist focus and high-level experience on cutting-edge competition law matters. The group is equipped to support on the full spectrum of related work but it is particularly sought after for its adept management of antitrust investigations, competition litigation and compliance issues. Additionally, the firm’s recent creation of an alliance with four other Colombian boutiques — to form ’Signature Legal Group’ — provides the team with the ability to draw on complementary specialists in compliance and white-collar crime, M&A and tax law, among other areas. Firm founder and competition specialist Gabriel Ibarra ranks ‘among the most renowned lawyers in the country’, according to many. Ibarra co-leads the department alongside Ana Lucía Parra, highlighted for her ’professional rigour’, and Alejandro Ibarra, who offers a ‘creative approach’. All three co-heads teamed up to represent the interests of PayU Colombia in an administrative investigation against Visa and Mastercard concerning allegedly anti-competitive conduct in the payment cards market. At associate level, October 2024 saw the arrival of senior Gustavo Ibarra from Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría, following the August departure of Carlos Bermúdes Pulido to take up a research post in London.
