Lawyer. Strategist.
Business ally.

For more than 20 years, I have supported entrepreneurs, companies and leaders in building sound businesses. My practice combines commercial law, business strategy and a forward-looking perspective. Alongside preventive legal work, I appear in judicial proceedings to defend the fundamental right to health through tutela actions and contempt proceedings.

I hold a law degree from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, an MBA from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and specialized studies at the University of Maryland. This background informs my work structuring companies for investment and growth, designing corporate governance, and protecting assets through trademarks and employment risk management.

Above all, I aim to be a strategic ally who understands both the urgency facing a patient and the language of a shareholder.
