Holguín Neira & Pombo underwent a shake-up last year, with 16 attorneys leaving in December. Most notably, oil and gas lawyer José Vicente Zapata Lugo who left to form his own firm, Suárez Zapata Partners Abogados. Despite this, the well-respected Luis Carlos Neira Mejía, a finance specialist, will continue to make the firm an important player in the Colombian market.
In March, a Neira-led team advised Citi Venture Capital International as it acquired a 31.9% stake in Transportadora de Gas Internacional (TGI), one of the largest deals in Colombia last year. The firm also assisted Empresa de Energía de Medellín, a public energy company, with negotiating a Build-Operate-Own-Maintain-Transfer (BOOMT) contract, regarding the Hidroituango hydroelectric generator.
