Employment, commercial and tax matters, prevented
Legal advice on employment, commercial and corporate matters.
Contracts, dismissals, companies and tax litigation in Colombia, to prevent lawsuits and penalties, with accounting and payroll on the same team.
What is business legal advice?
It is legal support for your company where most lawsuits and penalties come from: employment contracts, dismissals, disciplinary procedures, the incorporation and amendments of your company, and contracts with clients, suppliers, partners and the government.
It is preventive: we review and correct before there is a problem. And because the lawyer works with the accountant, every decision is also checked for its tax effect.
What if a proceeding has already started?
In tax matters we represent you directly: inquiries, official assessments, appeals and lawsuits before the administrative courts. In other proceedings we review the case and support you with strategy and documentation.

Corporate law
Shareholder meetings and minutes, bylaw amendments, new partners, reorganizations and liquidation, so your company stays in order as it grows.
Commercial contracts
Service, supply, distribution, confidentiality, lease and shareholder agreements, designed with their tax effects in mind.
Contracting with the State
Tenders on SECOP II, observations, bonds and the management of government contracts, from the bid to the final settlement.
Tax litigation
We defend your company against the DIAN and municipal tax offices: responses to inquiries, official assessments and penalties, administrative appeals and lawsuits before the administrative courts.

Employment law
Employment contracts, internal work rules, disciplinary procedures and dismissals, updated to the 2025 labor reform.

Tax planning
The tax impact of your decisions before you make them, and an orderly relationship with the tax authority from day one.
How much does dismissal without just cause cost in 2026?
It depends on the type of contract and, for indefinite-term contracts, on salary and seniority (art. 64 of the Colombian Labor Code). The severance is added to the settlement of benefits.
| Contract | First year | Each additional year |
|---|---|---|
| Indefinite term, salary under 10 minimum wages (COP 17,509,050) | 30 days | 20 days, and pro rata |
| Indefinite term, salary of 10 minimum wages or more | 20 days | 15 days, and pro rata |
| Fixed term | The wages for the time remaining in the agreed term | |
| Specific work or task | The wages until the end of the work, minimum 15 days | |
Does not include the late-payment penalty for unpaid benefits (art. 65 of the Labor Code) or damages claimed before a judge. This is an estimate: it does not replace a review of your case.

Dismissal without just cause by type of contract.
Art. 64 of the Labor Code.How we apply it in practice
Two typical situations, with example figures, that are best solved before they become a problem.
Dismissal without just cause, indefinite-term contract
Salary of COP 2,500,000 and 2 years and 6 months of seniority: 30 days + 20 days × 1.5 years = 60 days at COP 83,333. It is calculated before talking to the employee, to negotiate with the exact figure.
COP 5,000,000
From individual to S.A.S.
To hire staff, bid on tenders and apply for credit without exposing personal assets: liability limited to capital (Law 1258 of 2008), bylaws, Chamber of Commerce, RUT tax ID and the tax regime that suits you best, with the accounting ready from the first month.
