Lawyers in Posse Herrera Ruiz’s litigation group ‘understand the business and provide practical and legal solutions’. The team’s deep bench combines with its ability to marshal specialist sectoral support from across the wider full-service firm to mark it as a popular choice for high-stakes disputes, including cross-border cases. In a high-profile example of its reputation for complex matters, Grupo Nutresa turned to the practice for support on all litigation related to Grupo Gilinski’s attempted hostile takeover bid of Grupo Nutresa, Grupo Sura, and Grupo Argos, which resulted in a $4bn settlement plan. Department co-head Daniel Posse led the Nutresa litigation and is widely regarded as a market leader with clients valuing his ability to ’propose creative alternatives’. Fellow co-head Carolina Posada is also highly recommended for her extensive experience across the full suite of dispute resolution processes; she is representing Frontera Energy Colombia in a breach-of-contract claim brought by Power Generation Technology, as well as in Frontera’s counterclaim. The sizeable team also draws on litigation partners Pablo Enrique Sierra and Juan Pablo Bonilla as well as competition specialist Jorge de los Ríos, who is noted for regulatory litigation. A formidably deep pool of associates includes senior Alejandro Casas, who supports on a mix of judicial and arbitral proceedings; senior Laura Vengoechea, who secured a string of second-chair roles on litigation cases during 2023/24; Pedro Miguel Álvarez, who was promoted to director in March 2024 and specialises in corporate and trust disputes; and intermediate Juan David Fiallo.
