Six Ecija partners in Colombia move to Veria
Pablo Márquez, the former managing partner of Ecija in Colombia, along with five other partners — Lorena Garnica, Patricia Renjifo, Carlos Hugo Ramírez, Camilo Ramírez, and Julio Castañeda — have left the Spanish law firm to fully dedicate themselves to Veria, a boutique advisory firm focused on technology and artificial intelligence, according to Law.com and confirmed to Iberian Lawyer by Ecija.
Ecija states that this restructuring is being carried out in Colombia, and the firm will soon announce the addition of new professionals and partners. These six partners had formed the foundation of Ecija’s operations when the firm entered the South American market in 2021.
“New shirt, same team,” Carlos Hugo Ramírez wrote about the transition. “We are debuting a new jersey — Veria Asesores — with the same team of partners and friends, in a project that has already reached its tenth year. We will continue playing in the same style: staying very close to our clients, with a 360° vision thanks to our experience in public sector work, in-house legal roles in private companies, and continuous engagement in academia as university professors and speakers. Our focus remains on delivering practical and accessible legal advice and solutions.”
