What it is
When the act is final, the path is the court.
Tax litigation in Colombia is the judicial route against DIAN acts: assessments, penalty resolutions, and decisions that exhausted administrative remedies. The typical action is annulment and restoration of rights. That requires a lawyer. The accountant brings numbers and support; that does not replace legal representation.
Ligal keeps both crafts distinct: lawyers for judgment and the claim, and LIGAL Auditores (Law 43 of 1990) when books, reconciliations, or accounting expertise are needed. Juan Santiago Rodríguez Prieto leads from Calle 99 in Bogotá.
When litigation fits
- Administrative remedies are exhausted and the act is final.
- There is an official assessment, penalty, or resolution that hits your assets.
- You must measure statute deadlines before filing.
- You need a clear call on whether to sue or pursue another exit.
What we do
From the administrative file to the claim.
We order facts, law, and evidence. Then we decide whether litigation is worth it and how to frame it.
02
Theory of the case
We define annulment grounds, the restoration sought, and useful proof. Clear writing, not volume for volume.
03
Annulment and restoration claim
We file and carry the case before the administrative courts with Tax Law judgment.
04
Legal and accounting coordination
When the file needs numbers, Auditores under Law 43 step in. The lawyer sets the line; accounting supports it.
Clear limits
What we do not do in litigation.
We do not promise rulings
No serious lawyer guarantees the judgment. We offer judgment, strategy, and procedural rigor.
We do not sue by inertia
If cost or proof does not support it, we say so. Sometimes the best defense is not to litigate.
We do not blur roles
The accountant does not replace the lawyer before the judge. At Ligal each craft has its place.
The difference
Lawyers for the law. Auditors for the numbers.
Ligal mixes legal and accounting work without confusing roles. In tax litigation that matters: annulment is argued with law and proof, and proof often lives in books and reconciliations. LIGAL Abogados leads; LIGAL Auditores, under Law 43 of 1990, can run the accounting support.
Already have a trusted accountant? They stay. We work with them, not against them.

FAQ
Tax litigation, without fine print
It is the claim before the administrative courts to annul a DIAN act and restore your legal position. It is not an administrative appeal: it is litigation.
When grounds, proof, and deadlines support it. If the act is solid or the filing window is nearly closed without material, another exit may be wiser. The diagnostic measures that.
No. Court representation requires a lawyer. The accountant brings supports and figures; that does not replace procedural law.
Especially the statute of limitations for the action and notice terms. Missing a deadline can close the door even if the merits are strong.
The firm is based in Bogotá and handles cases across Colombia, in person and remotely, depending on the court and the file.
