Dentons Global Advisors sets up shop in Bogotá, Colombia in addition to expanding its Washington, DC office's offering focused on Latin America and the Caribbean. Johanna Peters, who was a campaign manager and senior political strategist for Colombian presidential candidate Sergio Fajardo during his 2018 and 2022 campaigns, joins the firm to lead the Bogotá office, which will serve as Dentons' first LAC hub, building on the work of Dentons Global Advisors-Albright Stonebridge Group's commercial diplomacy team. Muni Jensen, previously a senior advisor at Dentons Global Advisors ASG, will expand her responsibilities around the agency's work in the LAC region, leveraging her expertise in trade, investment and international arbitration. "We have advised clients with interests in Latin America for decades, and our expansion in Colombia will further strengthen our ability to help them navigate the region's complex, yet rewarding, business environment," said Dentons Global Advisors CEO Edward Reilly.
