Dispute Resolution

Strategic litigation and arbitration with a legacy of excellence

We combine seven generations of legal expertise with a fresh perspective to handle even the most complex commercial and contractual disputes. We focus on disputes where strategic precision is critical, handling cases across a wide range of industries, including infrastructure, insurance, construction, ports, airports, IT, sports, and TV rights, among others.

Our commercial and administrative litigation and arbitration practices prioritize resolving disputes efficiently. We advocate for negotiation and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods whenever feasible, aiming to achieve solutions that bypass the expense and complications of protracted legal proceedings. When litigation becomes necessary, we are tireless in seeking results that are specifically crafted to meet our clients' unique needs.

We also handle extraordinary appeals and annulment of arbitral awards before Colombia's high courts, ensuring that every legal recourse is explored. In addition, we manage public constitutional actions and assist with the recognition of foreign judgments and exequatur proceedings, providing seamless global enforcement of decisions.

Our commitment to service has earned us numerous accolades, with recognition from Chambers & Partners, Legal 500, and Leaders League. These prestigious institutions have consistently highlighted our expertise in dispute resolution, litigation, and arbitration, underscoring our position as leaders in the field. Ernesto Gamboa and Eduardo Gamboa, who lead our practice, have both been individually recognized by these rankings for their outstanding legal acumen.
