Hogan Lovells International

Cuatrecasas is a law firm that advised Grupo Forestalia on internal governance protocols. Forestalia, an energy company, is currently under judicial investigation following allegations of corruption related to the administrative processing of renewable energy park permits. As a result of these investigations, Fernando Samper Rivas resigned from his position as president of Forestalia. Ricardo Samper García, his son, has been appointed as the new director general. Cuatrecasas' involvement is newsworthy because they were responsible for developing the internal protocol that facilitated this change in leadership and the separation of ownership and management within Forestalia. This highlights the role of legal firms in advising companies facing scrutiny and implementing governance reforms.
