Distinguished by its robust cross-border expertise, the Bogotá-based group frequently teams up with the wider firm’s Miami office to advise on Colombian, US, and other international compliance regulations. It also handles criminal proceedings and transaction-related issues.
Some of the clients surveyed commented:
‘The practice at Diaz Reus is especially efficient in terms of the quality of its lawyers and the close collaboration that is achieved. Good communication and good results.’
‘Billing is interesting because the team’s fees are within the market average, but lawyers offer you quality, honest, transparent and close advice.’
‘Outstandingly, Marcela Blanco and associate Marcelo Buendía Vélez carry out their practice with good, objective and comprehensive communication.’
‘Javier Coronado is an exceptional attorney. This subject of criminal law is extremely complicated for a non-lawyer, and Javier has a wonderful ability to explain the subject simply, without leaving out the important details.’
‘Javier Coronado is a lawyer who is always available to give an explanation, have a call, or a brief follow-up meeting. He is a charismatic person, who inspires confidence but the most important thing is that he acts with rectitude and integrity.’
