About

Provided by Parra Rodríguez Abogados S.A.S.

Our practice is a market leader in high-value mobile equipment finance in Colombia, with particular strength in aviation and asset finance, structured transactions and cross-border secured lending.

We advise on sophisticated cross-border transactions, including ABS securitizations, PDP facilities, ECA-backed financings and sale-and-leaseback structures involving leading international financial institutions and investors.

Over the past twelve months, we have advised on transactions exceeding USD 1 billion.

Our mandates routinely involve coordination with New York, London and other international counsel, complex cross-border security structures, and the perfection and enforceability of rights in Colombia. Our advice extends beyond local documentation and filings to transaction structuring, regulatory risk allocation, foreign exchange, tax, insolvency and enforceability matters.

Our team played a key role in Colombia’s adoption of the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol and is currently promoting adoption of the Luxembourg Rail Protocol. All matters are partner-led, providing clients with direct senior involvement, technical depth and efficient execution.
