Corporate and Commercial Law
Duran & Osorio is considered one of the most relevant firms in Colombia in terms of telecommunications, media and technology consulting.
Our experience dates back almost twenty years, since the liberalization process of the networks and services market in Colombia began, until the recent introduction of Internet-based services. During all these years, through our participation in significant transactions, we have managed to accumulate important knowledge of the sector and have consolidated our image as a firm that combines legal and regulatory knowledge with the understanding of the technical particularities and financial requirements of this industry.
This practice area is responsible for aspects related to the telecommunications regime such as the registration of operators, obtaining permits for the use of the spectrum and advising on the application of the regulatory framework. Likewise, the firm has advised state entities in the development of new regulations and has participated in merger and acquisition transactions of operators.
Other aspects dealt with by this practice area correspond to those related to audiovisual media, which include the authorization of TV operators, advice on content distribution contracts for television and OTT schemes.
Also part of this practice area is advice on the legal regime of personal data and, in particular, advice on the execution of contracts under the science and technology regime.

Today the issuance of the 2.4 million Payment for Execution Certificates (TPEs), corresponding to 2.4 billion pesos, was carried out by the Metro de Bogotá Company and the Colombian Stock Exchange. The TPEs are an unprecedented financial instrument in Colombia, which will be used to finance part of the remuneration of the concessionaire in charge of the construction and operation of the First Line of the Bogotá Metro. These titles are tied to the development of the execution units by the concessionaire, thus making them not only a way to finance the project, but also a mechanism to guarantee its adequate development for the benefit of the city.
This is the largest issuance of public debt securities made by a district-level company and is the first of this nature to have a sovereign guarantee from the Nation. The issuance of TPEs for the Bogotá Metro is expected to represent a paradigmatic change in the way infrastructure projects are financed in Colombia.
We highlight the important work carried out by our partners Álvaro Durán and Álvaro Gasca, and our associates Felipe Herrera and Sebastián Duque, who led the legal component of the structuring and issuance of these securities.
