Our practice has been the leader in merger control before the National Competition Authority for the last few years, having consistently filed more applications than any other firm, according to the authority’s public records.
Our practice is also Colombia’s leading and pioneer practice in leniency applications, successfully working with the authority in securing the first leniency grant in Colombia, securing 100% immunity in three separate investigations.
We advise on all areas of competition law, including disputes related to unfair competition and violations of the rules on cartel activity and unilateral conduct. In addition, we assist clients involved in mergers, acquisitions and other types of transactions both in local and international markets. We have great experience and a successful trajectory in the presentation of applications for authorizations of national and international integrations with impact on the Colombian market.
