Diego Mauricio Acevedo Gámez

Expert guidance on a complex international employment matter

I engaged Diego Acevedo Gámez at Holland & Knight for a sensitive and complex employment issue involving the termination of a senior executive in our Colombian subsidiary. While our headquarters are in Indianapolis, Diego's specific expertise in Colombian Labor and Employment Law, for which he is recognized by Best Lawyers, was precisely what we needed. He provided exceptionally clear and strategic advice, navigating the nuances of Colombian statutes and ensuring our actions were compliant and defensible. His ability to bridge the gap between our U.S.-based expectations and local legal requirements was invaluable. The outcome was favorable and mitigated significant potential liability. My only slight critique is that during the initial engagement phase, there were occasional delays in email responses, likely due to the time zone difference and his caseload. However, once actively working on the matter, his communication was proactive and thorough. I highly recommend Diego for any multinational business facing employment challenges in Colombia.
