‘ Cristina Mejia: she is another lawyer with an outstanding academic and professional career, with experience in the field of arbitration litigation. In the litigation during which I have met her, she has acted with great solvency in the direction and strategic design of the litigation, while concurrently involved in the specific development of the lawsuits.‘ ‘ Claudia Benavides is a highly recognised lawyer in the field of national, international and transnational arbitration. ‘ They are: (i) a team of lawyers fully skilled in dispute resolution, (ii) with a remarkable balance, coupling and maturity as a team, and (iii) with the ability to use specialised knowledge in a strategic way in the judicial arena.‘ ‘What makes Cristina Mejia stand out, in addition to her mastery of procedural and negotiation issues, is her ability to communicate the strategy that she proposed, to carry out a methodical and persistent follow-up, qualities that were decisive in achieving our objective.’

However, December-2019 returnee Jorge Valencia departed to become senior counsel at Zoom in June 2021. At senior associate level, with María Angélica Burgos -and July 2021-hire Daniela Páez Cala- almost entirely dedicated to arbitration key litigation support comes from Sebastian Quintero who has over a decade's experience and focuses on international arbitration, domestic civil and commercial litigation, pre-litigation negotiations and settlement agreements, insolvency proceedings and real estate law. Other recent mandates include the successful representation of Embraer in a $10.5m alleged commercial-agency agreement case and representing Elequip in a $14m fiduciary duty suit filed by a shareholder of Sociedad Portuaria Regional de Buenaventura before the Superintendence of Companies. ' Fast, direct, concrete, strategic and very skilled at finding solutions that suit our needs', Mejía -like Benavides- represents clients in both litigation and arbitration - particularly those from the infrastructure, financial, oil, pharmaceutical and real estate sectors she also has experience representing clients before disputes boards and negotiating settlement agreements before or during court procedures, such as in the Refoenergy case (see below). A former head of litigation at Coca-Cola Femsa, local partner Cristina Mejia also impresses. She leads a 14-strong local team which handles commercial, administrative and civil litigation, as well as arbitration, and is also well-versed in constitutional matters - as reflected in winning the precedent-setting dismissal of a tutela against a $160m arbitral award made to (client) China United Engineering Corporation. Head of the firm's global dispute resolution practice, Claudia Benavides (who ' acts with great solvency in the direction and strategic design of litigation, while concurrently involved in the specific development of the lawsuits') is a standout figure. Certainly, for some clients, ' they really are the best'. It is also capable and experienced in contentious shareholder matters, proceedings involving public entities before the administrative courts, constitutional actions, and investigations (fiscal and otherwise) conducted by government agencies.
