Financial and corporate

Martínez Quintero Mendoza González Laguado & De La Rosa is located in Bogotá and was founded in 1996. It is best known for its work in M&A and debt capital markets, even though there are also flourishing banking and project development practices.  The firm’s banking practice advises on the borrower and lender sides of financing transactions, and the projects team is active in development and project finance. It is also strong in providing local and lead counsel in domestic and cross-border transactions.  

 

Highlights 

The firm’s M&A team exemplified its creative approach to problem solving in its representation of Empresas Públicas de Medellín as joint venture partner in its joint venture with Millicom International Cellular in Tigo-UNE. This was a strategic transaction for the firm’s client, but especially advantageous for Tigo-UNE because it allowed the company to avoid restructuring.  

The firm also advised the well-known Grupo Gilinski in its partial acquisition of Grupo Nutresa. Transactions like these give credit to the firm’s great reputation in Colombia.  

 

Key clients 

Some of the firm’s key clients include Advent International, Macquarie Asset Management, Grupo Gilinski, Inicia  and Empresas Públicas de Medellín.  

 

Testimonials 

“The firm is careful with the details, has good relations with the authorities and great teamwork ability.”
