The public law group at Dentons Cardenas & Cardenas scores highly for its ‘innovation, protection of client interests and strategic vision’, according to some. Striking a balance between contentious and non-contentious work, the team advises domestic and foreign companies on a wide range of bidding processes, government contracts, administrative investigations and sanctioning procedures, among other matters. Public law and dispute resolution specialist, Ximena Zuleta, spearheads the department and is highlighted for her ’ability to be “pro-deal”, which is sometimes lacking in public law attorneys’. Other senior names include Andrés Fernández de Soto, who specialises in public procurement and administrative law; transactional projects partner Pablo Jaramillo; and associate Nicolás Díaz, who is noted for projects, public law and transport-related matters.
