According to clients, Holland & Knight ‘cares about understanding the business realities and contexts of the companies it advises’. The group continues to consolidate its position in the market following the firm’s May 2023 absorption of Cuberos Cortés Gutiérrez Abogados, and it added several new clients during 2023/24, including Opp Film Colombia and Boston Scientific. Arguably best known for its record in cross-border transactions, where it can link up with its wider international network, the team also handles domestic M&A and advisory matters. Executive office partner Enrique Gómez-Pinzón, who operates from Bogotá and Washington DC, steers the practice. Other recommended partners include Gustavo Cuberos, who contributes ’seriousness and dynamism’; Julia Velásquez, who is ‘a great leader’; Alba Malagón, who specialises in corporate and finance deals; and transactional energy specialists José Vicente Zapata and Ines Elvira Vesga. Associates Natalia CuberosDiana Paola Serrano and Isabella Díaz are also noted.
