Pinilla González & Prieto Abogados

Widely hailed as ‘the leading firm in urban planning and real estate law in Colombia’, Pinilla González & Prieto Abogados is distinguished by its unrivalled sector coverage — spanning regulatory, transactional and contentious matters — as well as its considerable bench depth, which draws on three partners and more than 15 additional lawyers dedicated exclusively to real estate law. High-profile real estate expert Juan Manuel Gonzalez leads the urban and real estate practice and is praised as ’one of a kind’. He paired up with planning specialist Ángela Caicedo, who heads the urban law department, to advise Amarilo on modifying the regulatory framework of a partial plan to allow the development of an area of urban land in Barranquilla. The group also includes senior dispute resolution-focused partner Carlos Felipe Pinilla and Laura Mesa, who serves as managing associate of the real estate unit. Also at associate level, urbanism and real estate-focused senior Margarita Rosa González has over a decade’s experience in the sector. However, the firm has endured partner-level departures over the second half of 2025, with Camilo Hermida leaving in June, and Sandra Lizcano and Julián Rojas exiting in August. Associate Susana Mowerman  left in June 2024.
