Clyde & Co And G Herrera Abogados & Asociados Announced Association In Colombia

Clyde & Co, a leading global law firm, has entered into a strategic association with G Herrera Abogados & Asociados (GHA), a prominent Colombian law firm known for its expertise in insurance law and a broad spectrum of legal services.

This collaboration marks Clyde & Co’s first on-the-ground presence in Colombia, significantly expanding its footprint in Latin America, where it already operates 24 offices across Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Venezuela, Canada, and the United States. The partnership aims to strengthen legal services in insurance, corporate law, cybersecurity, and risk management, both locally and globally.

With over 30 years of experience, GHA boasts a team of 11 partners and 104 professionals, with offices in Bogotá and Cali, and lawyers in other strategic cities such as Pereira, Medellín, Bucaramanga, Cartagena, Pasto, and Popayán. The firm has a strong reputation in commercial litigation and arbitration, professional liability, fiscal and administrative responsibility, procurement, infrastructure, intellectual property, and corporate law

Matthew Kelsall, CEO of Clyde & Co, said: "Colombia is a vibrant and fast-growing market. This association with GHA allows us to better serve our clients in our core sectors. The country’s strategic location in Latin America and its emerging economy makes it an ideal hub for our clients. We are excited to work with a firm that shares our commitment to excellence and client service."

Neil Beresford, partner at Clyde & Co with more than 25 years of experience in Colombian matters and leader of the project, added: "This association with GHA reflects our strong ties with Colombia, and we are delighted to have found a firm with whom we share both cultural and professional alignment. Providing legal representation at a national level in Colombia marks a significant milestone in the expansion of our network. We look forward to supporting our clients in Colombia, throughout Latin America, and globally in their Colombian operations."

Luisa Herrera, Senior Managing Partner at GHA, said: "Our association with Clyde & Co is a great opportunity to leverage their global platform and expertise. This association will allow us to deliver more comprehensive legal solutions to our clients, both locally and internationally."

This alliance marks a key milestone in the journey and vision led by Gustavo Alberto Herrera Ávila, founding partner and current managing director of GHA. For over 35 years, he has directed the firm with a deep commitment to justice, ethics, and client service, adding value to its clients and establishing GHA as a trusted leader in insurance, liability, and contract law in Colombia. His leadership has helped shape national legal development and contributed to institutional and economic growth.

Gustavo Alberto Herrera Ávila, founding partner and managing director of GHA, said: "This alliance strengthens the path we have been building for decades: consolidating the practice of private and public law, including insurance law, and drawing from global and comparative legal experiences to strengthen our local legal practice. We are proud to take this step alongside a firm of Clyde & Co’s calibre."

This move follows Clyde & Co’s recent global expansions, including new offices in Warsaw, Jeddah, and Dallas, and builds on its 2022 entry into Chile, further cementing its strategic growth across Latin America.
