The firm combines deep local knowledge with global reach, offering legal services across a wide range of practice areas. In Colombia, Cuatrecasas advises clients on corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, financing, capital markets, and project development, particularly in the infrastructure and energy sectors.

Highlights  

Cuatrecasas advised leading financial institutions, including Davivienda, Banco BTG Pactual, and Macquarie Bank, on complex cross-border transactions in 2024. The firm played a pivotal role in the USD 209 million debt restructuring for Procaps Group, involving multiple jurisdictions—Colombia, Spain, Peru, Luxembourg, Brazil, and the U.S.—and the formalization of a multi-country guarantee package. This innovative deal combined refinancing with a USD 130 million capital injection, balancing creditor recovery and corporate reorganization. Additionally, Cuatrecasas advised Macquarie Bank on a USD 75 million financing for Canacol Energy Ltd., requiring a sophisticated structure across Colombia, the U.S., and Canada. These transactions underscore the firm’s expertise in multi-jurisdictional finance and its ability to deliver strategic solutions in high-stakes scenarios.
