English-speaking lawyers in Colombia
ASD SERVICIOS LEGALES S.A.S. (Colombian tax ID 901.795.000-1) is a Colombian law firm with physical offices in Bogotá and Montería. We advise foreign individuals and companies on legal matters in Colombia, in English and in Spanish.
Most of our foreign clients never travel for the file itself. Colombian civil procedure has been digital since Law 2213 of 2022: claims are filed online, the court file is electronic and hearings are held by video. A power of attorney granted before a Colombian consulate or apostilled abroad is enough for us to act on your behalf.
What we handle for foreign clients
- Real estate purchase: title search, promise of sale, public deed, registration and tax treatment.
- Company formation: incorporation of a Colombian SAS, bylaws, tax registration and corporate books.
- Foreign investment: registration of the investment before the Banco de la República and repatriation of capital and profits.
- Visas and immigration: investor, retirement, digital nomad, spouse of a Colombian national and Colombian nationality.
- Inheritance and succession over assets located in Colombia, including heirs living abroad.
- Litigation and arbitration before Colombian courts and arbitration centres.
- Employment law for companies hiring staff in Colombia.
- Corporate compliance: SAGRILAFT and the Business Transparency and Ethics Programme required by the Superintendence of Companies.
- Surrogacy programmes in Colombia for intended parents abroad.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to travel to Colombia to hire a Colombian lawyer?
No. A power of attorney granted before a Colombian consulate abroad, or apostilled in your country and translated by an official translator, allows us to act on your behalf. Court hearings are held by video under Law 2213 of 2022.
Can a foreigner buy property in Colombia?
Yes. Colombian law does not restrict property ownership by foreigners. What matters is the title search over the last ten years, the public deed before a notary, registration at the public registry office, and registering the investment with the central bank where applicable.
Can a foreigner own a Colombian company?
Yes. A simplified stock corporation, known as SAS, can be incorporated with a single foreign shareholder and does not require a Colombian partner. The foreign capital must be registered with the Banco de la República to allow later repatriation of profits and capital.
How are your fees structured?
Fixed fees for closed-scope work, hourly rates for open-ended matters, monthly retainers for companies and success-based fees in recovery matters. The initial assessment is free and every quotation is given in writing beforehand.
How can I verify that the firm is real?
The firm identifies itself with tax ID 901.795.000-1 and serves clients from Bogotá and Montería. Professional credentials should be checked individually in the competent public registries.
