Valued for providing ‘effective and creative solutions to complex problems’, Ibarra Abogados Rimon Law’s firm-wide focus on economic regulation and compliance pays dividends and it is widely recognised as a market leader for competition and antitrust law. The group is a particularly popular choice to advise on complex and highly strategic matters, where it has extensive experience in administrative investigations and competition litigation, including the representation of companies filing antitrust complaints against competitors. That being said, the group is also well versed in merger reviews and related work, including advising on complaints regarding non-compliance with merger remedies. Managing partner and department head Gabriel Ibarra is held up by clients for his ’unbeatable experience and specialised knowledge’; he continues to act alongside the ‘strategic’ Ana Lucía Parra to provide ongoing advice to Yara Colombia on day-to-day competition law matters. Rounding out the team at partner level is Alejandro Ibarra, who recently teamed up with Parra to represent PayU Colombia in filing an antitrust proceeding before the SIC against Visa and Mastercard. Other key contacts include senior associate Carlos Bermúdes Pulido, whose practice combines antitrust, public procurement, commercial and administrative law. In a major development since publication, the firm has merged with a further four legal boutiques - MPV Abogados, Prias Cadavid Abogados, Quintero y Quintero Asesores and Torrado Angarita & Pinzón Abogados - to form new platform: Signature Legal Group (effective as of February 2025).
