Recognized as a rising talent in the legal field, Martínez has been acknowledged by Thought Leader WWL Construction (Lexology), Chambers & Partners’ Up and Coming category, and Legal 500’s Next Generation Partner category, Martínez will collaborate with Litigation partner Gonzalo Ardila (pictured left).
