Corporate and Commercial Law
Durán & Osorio es considerado como una de las más relevantes firmas en Colombia en materia de asesoría en materia de telecomunicaciones, medios y tecnología.
Nuestra experiencia se remonta a casi veinte años, desde que se iniciara el proceso de liberalización del mercado de redes y servicios en Colombia, hasta la reciente introducción de servicios basados en Internet. Durante todos estos años, a través de nuestra participación en significativas transacciones, hemos logrado acumular un importante conocimiento del sector y hemos consolidado nuestra imagen como una firma que combina el conocimiento legal y regulatorio con el entendimiento de las particularidades técnicas y los requerimientos financieros de esta industria.
Esta área de práctica se encarga de aspectos relacionados con el régimen propio de las telecomunicaciones tales como el registro de operadores, la obtención de permisos de uso del espectro y la asesoría en la aplicación del marco regulatorio. Así mismo, la firma ha asesorado a entidades estatales en el desarrollo de nueva regulación y ha participado en transacciones de fusión y adquisición de operadores.
Otros aspectos tratados por este área de práctica corresponden a aquellos relacionados con los medios audiovisuales que incluyen la autorización de operadores de TV, la asesoría en contratos de distribución de contenidos para televisión y esquemas OTT.
También hace parte de esta área de práctica la asesoría en materia del régimen legal de datos personales y de manera especial, la asesoría en materia de celebración de contratos bajo el régimen de ciencia y tecnología.

Roads and Massive Transportation
Durán & Osorio has assisted in the development of the most important road infrastructure projects, Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems and other massive transportation programs in Colombia.
The firm was responsible for the drafting of a standardised PPP contract for the fourth generation (4G) concession contracts and the legal structuring of a large number of these projects. The 4G concession program is the most ambitious investment program in Colombia, with more than 25 billion dollars of expected investment.
Similarly Durán & Osorio was in charge of structuring the legal framework for Transmilenio, a successful public transportation initiative operating a fleet of buses (BRT) that changed the logistical dynamics of Bogotá and which was adopted by other cities around the world thereafter - with some of these projects warranting the firm’s assistance.
In 1999, our law firm designed the legal and contractual structure that allowed the beginning of the operation stage of the BRT buses, the revenue and control of this BRT system. Later, in 2002, the law firm structured the project to actually develop the infrastructure of Transmilenio’s phase 2 (exclusive lanes, mixed, stations, public areas, service networks, etc.). This phase involved the following main streets in Bogotá: Troncal Calle 13 – Américas, NQS and Suba.
These contracts are the first experience in Colombia related to private financing that includes payments by availability without traffic flow risk. Additionally there were introduced important breakthroughs concerning risk assignment that today are a common denominator in the Colombian market. The estimated investment made in Transmilenio phase 2 infrastructure was more than 700 millions dollars. This phase was terminated on time and within budget.
Recently, Durán & Osorio leaded the structuring and financing of Phases II and III of Transmilenio's BRT system in Soacha. This project will improve the mobility between Bogotá and this locality and will benefit over 400.000 passengers.
Among our clients, we assist multilateral entities, governments and private sector corporations dedicated to construction and financing.
