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.

Dispute Resolution
Durán & Osorio has a very active litigation and dispute resolution practice. The Firm has represented national and international clients in judicial proceeding as well as as in arbitration tribunals, always pursuing the most effective solution for the client's interests.
Our litigation practice is focused in dispute resolution of matters related to infrastructure projects, telecommunications and administrative law. The interdisciplinary approach that characterizes our firm has had a positive effect in the litigation practice, allowing a more effective representation of our client's interests.

Some of these disputes were resolved amicably before the ruling, and the rest of them resulted in a ruling favorable to Telecom's interests and our legal defense.
Furthermore, the firm represented Patrimonio Autónomo de Remanentes (Telecom's liquidation trust) in three (3) arbitration proceedings, all of which were ruled in favor of Telecom and resulted in an award in excess of $41.000.000.000 for the trust.
