Pérez-Llorca continues to advance its internationalisation strategy with the relocation of two partners from Colombia.

Pérez-Llorca continues to advance its internationalisation strategy with the relocation of two partners from Colombia. Juan David Quintero, a partner in the Corporate/M&A practice, will join the New York office from Bogotá, while Alejandro Sanabria, a partner in the Tax practice, will be based in Madrid. Both will continue to practise Colombian law from their new locations.
The relocations reflect the growth in investment flows between the Americas and Europe and the increasing interconnection of both regions with Asia and the Middle East. Against this backdrop, companies, funds and investors are increasingly undertaking transactions that combine different jurisdictions, sources of funding and decision-making centres.
The presence of Colombian lawyers in New York and Madrid will enable Pérez-Llorca to link these opportunities more directly with its teams in Latin America and provide coordinated advice from some of the world’s leading financial and business centres.
Project Scala and the Ibero-American platform
The moves form part of Project Scala, Pérez-Llorca’s internal initiative designed to capitalise on the opportunities arising from the firm’s internationalisation process.
Its objectives include consolidating a fully integrated Ibero-American legal platform, coordinating advice to clients operating across multiple jurisdictions, and promoting the mobility and professional development of its lawyers.
Juan David Quintero joins New York
Juan David Quintero’s move to New York will help strengthen Pérez-Llorca’s relationship with the US firms with which he regularly collaborates and which advise on transactions and investments involving Latin America.
Quintero has more than 15 years of experience in domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, private equity funds, joint ventures and corporate reorganisations.
He is admitted to practise in Colombia and in the state of New York, holds a Master’s degree in Corporate Law from New York University School of Law and has studied business at NYU Stern School of Business.
Throughout his career, he has been involved in transactions for companies including Ecopetrol
