Nexo Legal in my view should be renamed as they offer so much more than legal services - accounting, business advice and more that i have not used yet. I was impressed by their methodical approach in organizing a consultation, bringing the right people on the meeting, and of course moreso by the results - absolutely clear answers based on knowledge and experience. I had tried to reach out to a couple of skilled accountants recommended to me by friends and expats. Some of them were really nice guys with great knowledge of Colombian laws. However as an expat, i could not get that that level of clarity and knowledge of my specific situation that i got with Nexo folks. Kudos and highly recommend them!
