Gómez-Pinzón advises Urbaser Colombia on the acquisition of waste management firm Sersepco
Gómez-Pinzón Abogados has acted on the share purchase agreement through which Urbaser Colombia acquired 100% of the shares of Servicios Sépticos e Industriales de Colombia (Sersepco), a Medellín-based company with over a decade of experience in managing hazardous and non-hazardous liquid, semi-solid, solid, and recoverable waste.
The transaction was subject to several conditions precedent, including obtaining a non-objection notice from Colombia’s Superintendence of Industry and Commerce and the amendment of certain key agreements. Although the deal officially closed on April 9, 2025, Urbaser Colombia disclosed the transaction to the public only in March 2025.
This acquisition strengthens Urbaser’s presence in Antioquia, Córdoba, and the Magdalena Medio region of Colombia, adding more than 500 new clients to its portfolio.
In addition, it expands Urbaser’s service offering to include management of grease traps, maintenance of septic tanks, management of domestic and industrial wastewater, cleaning and maintenance of pipelines, sludge disposal, and management and recovery of hazardous waste.
Gómez-Pinzón Abogados was led by partner Natalia García Arenas (pictured), senior associate: Andrea Stephanou and junior associate Felipe Guzman. William Tabares was the in-house counsel for Urbaser Colombia.
