The Firm

Since 1993, SALAS has built knowledge that cannot be improvised: command of the sector, experience in its most complex matters, and the ability to deliver results for its clients.

Decades of specialisation transforming knowledge into solutions

The firm's specialisation in Maritime and Port Law and in Arbitration and Dispute Resolution is the result of decades of work on the most complex matters in each sector, turning that deep knowledge into pragmatic solutions.

30+ years of experience

40+ international arbitrations

International practice

desde Colombia para el mundo

Knowledge that is never delegated

the partner, always

Knowledge that transforms on every front

Founded by a lawyer who participated directly in the development of Colombia's maritime regulatory framework and in the structuring of the country's most significant port concessions, the Maritime and Port Law Practice at SALAS draws on more than three decades of command of the sector, its stakeholders and regulations. Its proven strength in maritime and port concessions positions it as the benchmark in Colombia.

The Arbitration and Dispute Resolution Practice at SALAS draws on more than fifteen years of international experience and over forty international arbitrations under ICC, ICSID and UNCITRAL rules. Led by a partner admitted to the Colombian and Paris (omis) bars, with a fully trilingual practice in Spanish, English and French, it is a combination that few firms in the region can match.

SALAS integrates international legal research tools and top-tier matter management so that the partners can focus on what matters most to the client: legal strategy. SALAS clients work directly with the partners, from day one through to the resolution of the matter.
