2 September 2024
September 2, 2024: Forvis Mazars is pleased to announce a significant step in our journey of innovation and growth in the Colombian market. Starting in September 2024, NCD Estudio Legal, under the leadership of Jaime Nieto and Juan Camilo Duque, will integrate into our firm. Since its founding in 2014, NCD Estudio Legal has been synonymous with excellence in labor, immigration, and dispute resolution law—key areas that will now be further strengthened under the Forvis Mazars brand.
This integration represents more than just an expansion of services; it is an opportunity to redefine how we support our clients in an increasingly complex legal environment. With Jaime Nieto and Juan Camilo Duque assuming leadership roles as Partners in Labor and Litigation, respectively, Forvis Mazars is positioned to offer a more comprehensive and strategic approach, combining local expertise with a global vision.
Our new Partner Jaime Nieto states:
“The true measure of success is not the title you hold, but the impact you make and the difference you create in the world through your work and leadership. Being a partner at a firm like Forvis Mazars is not just an achievement; it is the result of the journey that began with NCD Estudio Legal and one more reason to continue innovating, inspiring, and creating value for our clients, colleagues, and friends.”
Likewise, our new Partner Juan Camilo Duque says:
“Today, I am not saying goodbye to NCD Estudio Legal, but rather taking on the responsibility of developing at Forvis Mazars the dream that NCD was for me. With great joy and commitment, I embrace the challenge ahead and with the assurance of having an integrated group of professionals by my side, who will give their best for our firm and our clients.”
Andres Cortes, International Partner Head of Tax & Legal, shares:
“This integration reflects our vision of sustained growth and our mission to offer robust and diversified legal support. Joining forces with NCD Estudio Legal allows us to expand our capabilities and continue providing exceptional service in all areas of law.”
Jaime Nieto holds a Law Degree and a Master’s in Labor Law and Social Security from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, and is a Specialist in Labor Law and Specialist in Liability and Compensable Damages from Universidad Externado de Colombia. He has over 15 years of experience in labor law and civil law.
