Since its establishment in 1995, Muñoz Tamayo has focused on general business law with an emphasis on international matters and has been one of the law firms retained to structure, coordinate, support and perform the most challenging legal transactions in Colombia. The firm is particularly active in the fields of domestic and international commercial, financial and corporate law, commercial and investment banking, foreign and domestic investment, taxation, mining and oil, trade matters, international financing and trade, securities, public utilities and government contracts, privatizations, structuring of infrastructure projects and project finance transactions, as well as sophisticated treasury financial operations, in the fields of financial and foreign exchange law.

Muñoz Tamayo offers global companies substantial experience on entering and operating in Colombia’s markets. The firm has counseled clients on all sides of mergers and acquisitions including purchasers, sellers, investors and financial advisers in transactions related to the sale of state-owned assets in the financial services and energy sectors. In the energy arena, Muñoz Tamayo has been at the forefront of Colombia’s public utility industry since privatization began in the 1990s. Since then, the firm has helped clients develop projects in the electric and gas energy, hydrocarbons, telecommunications and water supply sectors, gaining recognition for its capacity to structure and articulate highly complex transactions that, in many cases, demand the understanding of diverse multicultural circumstances and pioneering in new projects and areas of practice that require innovation, creativity and interaction of various disciplines and areas of practice.
