International law firm DAC Beachcroft is pleased to announce that it has once again secured a strong set of rankings in The Legal 500 Latin America 2022. This includes a Tier 1 ranking for its Insurance practice in Colombia, as well as new rankings for two of its individual lawyers in the region, bringing the total number of ranked lawyers to seven.
The firm is ranked by The Legal 500 in each country where it has an office, including Colombia, Chile and Mexico.
In Colombia, where the firm is top-ranked for Insurance, Camila de la Torre was once again named a ‘leading individual’, and Juan Diego Arango maintained his ‘next generation partner’ ranking. Partner Ana Catalina Restrepo, with her “extensive knowledge and closeness to the local market”, and senior associate Ángela Hernández were also singled out in the directory. Beyond Insurance, DACB was ranked for Litigation in the jurisdiction.
In Chile, DACB secured a Tier 2 ranking for Insurance, with Nicolas Le Blanc again recognised as a ‘rising star’ and Andrés Amunátegui retaining his ‘leading individual’ status. For the first time this year, associate María Jesús Pérez was named a ‘rising star’.
In Mexico, Salvador Enrique Urbano maintained his ‘next generation partner’ ranking and was joined by Miguel Ángel de la Fuente, who was also recognised as a ‘next generation partner’. In addition, the firm maintained its Tier 2 Insurance ranking in the country.
Andrés Amunátegui, Head of Latin America at DAC Beachcroft, commented, “We are very pleased to have maintained this robust set of rankings in the region and delighted that The Legal 500 has recognised so many of the talented lawyers we have within the LatAm team. DACB continues to go from strength to strength in the region, and we want to thank our clients for their unwavering support.”
Feedback given to The Legal 500 by DACB’s clients highlighted the LatAm team’s “kindness, empathy, collaboration, professionalism and quality”, as well as its “commitment to their clients and excellent service”.
