Frequently asked questions

How do I register a trademark in Colombia?

You apply before the Superintendence of Industry and Commerce after a prior availability search to avoid conflicts with existing marks. Registration lasts ten years and can be renewed.

Can you represent my company in public procurement?

Yes. We advise on preparing bids, performance, amendments, final settlement and disputes under Laws 80 of 1993 and 1150 of 2007.

Can you support my company on an ongoing basis and not just case by case?

Yes. Besides one-off consultations, we can support your company on contracts, labor and tax matters. Scope and fees are agreed in writing.

What is the UGPP and why did I receive a notice?

The UGPP verifies the correct payment of pension, health, occupational risk and payroll-tax contributions. A notice often arises from differences in contribution base income, non-salary payments or missing affiliations. The deadline to respond is strict.

How long do I have to answer a DIAN notice?

The deadline appears in the notice itself and in most cases cannot be extended. We recommend consulting immediately so you do not lose the chance to respond and to file appeals.

What should we do if we receive a DIAN or UGPP notice?

These notices have short deadlines, and ignoring them has consequences. Contact us as soon as you receive one, with the notification date, so we can review it and prepare the response on time.
