Who We Are
Jorge A. Colón, Esq.
At Colón Partners, P.A., our market strategy is focused on Corporate, Technology, and Employment law. We made this decision in part to leverage over 50 years of combined in-house experience with Fortune 100 companies as well as small-medium size companies, in these specific areas, and because we enjoy our work in these areas. While we help entrepreneurs and their start-ups, as well as small, medium and large companies, our target clients are mostly privately owned businesses under $25 million in revenue per year.
Our firm was founded by Jorge Colón. Mr. Colón grew up in England and Switzerland. He fulfilled his family legacy of at least one family member in each generation studying law when he graduated from Georgetown Law in 1992. He is part of a 100+ year legacy of lawyers. His wife also comes from a family of lawyers. Law and professional service is in their family DNA.
