Fielding three partners dedicated to criminal law, the department is co-led by co-founders Paula Cadavid and Juan Carlos Prías together with Viviana Gómez Barbosa. The firm’s deep bench also includes three experienced directors, namely: Juan Pablo Flechas Hernández, who manages the litigation area; Oscar Mauricio Amaya Vargas, who contributes experience in economic criminal law and crimes against public administration, among other areas; and Juan Guillermo Campo, who co-ordinates the tax and customs criminal law practice.
