01 · The firm
We are Estudio N2
We combine public law, strategy, and academic rigor to protect what you decide, build, and contract.
Estudio N2 Abogados is a Colombian firm devoted to public law. We advise and represent State entities, private parties performing administrative functions, builders, and investors in matters where a decision of the administration puts a project or assets at stake.
The practice is organized into nine areas, ranging from the defense of administrative acts before the administrative courts and public procurement to urban planning law, civil service, and territorial autonomy.
Its partners have experience in the judicial defense of territorial entities and of urban curators (curadores urbanos), in the legal directorate of the Colombian Association of Capital Cities (Asociación Colombiana de Ciudades Capitales), and in university teaching of administrative law and land-use planning.
Knowledge of how the administration acts
We have defended the administrative act from inside the entity and from outside it. That dual perspective allows us to anticipate the challenge before it reaches your file.
One field, in full depth
The firm's practice was built on public law and administrative law. That focus allows us to answer every question in your matter in depth.
Academic rigor applied to the case file
Research and teaching in administrative law and land-use planning give your case the reading of precedent that litigation before the high courts requires.

Before we begin, you know who is responsible and how much it costs
First, the conflict of interest
Before hearing the facts, we verify that the firm can take on the matter. That is why the first message asks only for the type of matter, the parties, the authority, and the deadline.
A partner is responsible for your matter
Each area has a partner in charge, who studies the case, signs the filings, and attends the hearings. You know from the first day whom you are speaking with.
Fees in writing
Before taking on a matter, we deliver a written proposal with the scope of the work and the fees. Depending on the matter, we agree on a fixed amount per stage, a share of the outcome, or a combination of both. Nothing is charged without a written agreement.
Judgment you can read
The partners publish in legal research journals and books and in the specialized press. Each partner's profile contains the links to those works.
