Spanish law firm J&A Garrigues has hired an equity party to head its infrastructure practice in Colombia, a country with one of the most ambitious agendas in Latin America for energy and other projects.
Adriana Espinosa joins from Colombian firm Arrieta Mantilla & Asociados, where she coordinated the infrastructure practice as a partner. With the incorporation, Garrigues' office in Bogotá will have seven partners and more than 50 professionals covering the main areas of business law.
Javier Ybáñez, coordinator of the Latin American practice, said Espinosa's hire "reflects the firm's commitment to continue bolstering its team with the best professionals." Last summer, the firm hired Mario Ybar, former acting national economic prosecutor for the Chilean antitrust authority, to head its antitrust practice in Chile.
