Ustáriz & Abogados Estudio Jurídico is a first port of call for banks and financial services clients in contentious matters and one client attests, ‘there is no other team in Colombia with its specialty in handling bank fraud litigation’. Alongside fraud-related disputes, the group attracts praise for its adept handling of financial consumer law litigation and trust litigation, among other financial law matters. The group is also increasingly active outside of its niche, as evidenced by a growing volume of cases involving construction, real estate and corporate conflicts. Department head Luís Humberto Ustáriz is highlighted as ’above outstanding for banking litigation’; he recently represented Mundial de Seguros in a $14.3m claim filed by the trust Fondo de Financiamiento de la Infraestructura Educativa (FFIE) related to the construction of educational institutions in Colombia. The group also benefits from the support of Angela Restrepo, who serves as associate director of the dispute resolution practice.
