Key attributes of Posse Herrera Ruiz’s customs and international trade practice include its ‘clear work methodology that facilitates interaction’ and its ’practical and immediate responses’, according to clients. The team advises on an array of customs law, trade remedies, free-trade agreements (FTAs) and free trade zone-related matters, but it is arguably best known for its strength in international trade taxation, where it can lean on the firm’s dominant tax offering. Recently promoted (March 2024) partner María Paula Sánchez leads the department and specialises in customs, international trade and tax law; she recently advised the Colombian National Planning Department on strategies to dismantle non-tariff barriers stifling competition in Colombia’s motor vehicle and engine-manufacturing sector. Other experienced names include veteran customs law counsel Ramiro Araujo Segovia; Juan Guillermo Ruiz, who specialises in tax law, including customs tax; and Juan Camilo De Bedout, who focuses on tax and customs litigation. Associate Ana María Vega provides dedicated practice support.
