Ecija in Colombia strengthens its leadership in the country with the incorporation of a new office in the Colombian capital specialising in tax and fiscal law.
Bedoya Goyes is one of the leading law firms in the Colombian market in tax law, foreign exchange and related litigation. The integration will allow Ecija’s clients in Colombia to access additional advice on these matters, in addition to the areas of competition law, corporate and labour law, technology, entertainment, telecommunications, and real estate.
Bedoya Goyes, a law firm led by David Bedoya, is formed by a total of three partners and has been present in the Colombian market for more than 10 years. It stands out as a boutique law firm in its areas of specialisation, providing comprehensive and highly specialised advice to its clients.

The Bedoya Goyes team joins Ecija, the Spanish law firm with the largest presence in Latin America with 33 offices in 16 countries, 182 partners and 1000 professionals globally.
In the words of David Bedoya, Managing Partner of Bedoya Goyes: “We are very excited about this integration, which will allow us to make a quantitative and qualitative leap in our advisory services in tax and transactional matters”.
