According to sources, Posse Herrera Ruiz provides advice ‘that faces market challenges and is based on commercial sensitivity’. Its multi-jurisdictional prowess is also a recurring theme among clients, with the firm’s single-country model standing as no barrier to cross-border work — indeed, it is frequently engaged to advise on the local and regional aspects of wider global deals. In a recent example, ’skilled negotiator’ Jaime Cubillos acted for Talanx Group on its $1.4bn acquisition of Liberty Mutual’s insurance businesses in Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador. Department head Jaime Herrera also has a significant international dimension to his practice; he recently teamed up with next-generation partner Susana Gómez to act as Colombian counsel to Patria Investments on its partnership, through one of its affiliates, with Banca de Inversión Bancolombia to create Patria Asset Management. José Alejandro Torres, whose broad corporate focus spans both transactional and compliance matters, is another senior member of the team; he recently advised Grupo IMSA on the sale of its pipe manufacturing and distribution business in Colombia and Mexico, through the sale of its shareholding participation in Otek Internal. Other noted partners include Gabriel Sánchez, who is well versed in both domestic and cross-border M&A; and Oscar Tutasaura, who advises on a mix of corporate, M&A, and compliance and white-collar crime work. The team is additionally supported by a capable team of associates, including Catalina Noreña, Camilo Lovera and Daniel Meza. Since publication, Noreña has been raised to the partnership - effective as of January 2025.
