Esguerra JHR

Formed following the February 2024 merger between Esguerra Asesores Jurídicos and specialist tax firm Jiménez, Higuita, Rodríguez & Asociados, Esguerra JHR impresses with its ‘immediate availability to respond to client needs’. Public law stands as a core pillar of the firm’s offering and it is best known for its record in constitutional and administrative law disputes, where it represents both private and public-sector entities. On the non-contentious side, the team is well versed in advising on public tenders and project structuring. Among the names to note, Juan Carlos Esguerra is a go-to specialist for complex public law matters, including constitutional law cases; he recently represented UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones in two lawsuits brought against the Ministry of Information and Communication Technologies and the Superintendence of Industry and commerce respectively. Felipe Piquero is highly recommended for his expertise in public contracts and related contentious work; he recently represented a construction company in a fiscal liability process initiated by the Contraloría General de la República. Other key contacts include Adriana Nieto, who handles projects, public bids and administrative law matters. In April 2024, associate María Fernanda Barraza Díaz left to join the National Agency for Legal Defence of the State.
