Baker & McKenzie - Colombia

Our Colombia lawyers advise clients on some of the most significant transactions in Latin America, including acting for The Bank of Nova Scotia during the financing of Brookfield Asset Management’s US$2 billion takeover of Isagen, Colombia’s state-owned energy provider. We also advised Advent International on its US$344 million acquisition of a 30% stake in LifeMiles, one of the fastest growing frequent flyer programs in Latin America, in a deal spanning eight jurisdictions.

With more than 50 years of experience in the local market, we are the go-to firm for Colombian companies, multinationals and financial institutions looking for first-class domestic and cross-border advice in Latin America's third-largest economy. The quality of our work is reflected in the recognition we receive from leading legal directories. We are ranked Band 1 for Intellectual Property and Band 2 for Corporate/M&A by Chambers Latin America, and Tier 1 for Transfer Pricing and Financial & Corporate by the International Tax Review.

Our 80 lawyers have a deep understanding of Colombia’s legal, regulatory and commercial practices and work closely with colleagues across our 14 other regional offices to help clients succeed in Latin America's dynamic business landscape.
