Main areas of practice
Arbitration and litigation: Since our practice covers matters of almost all sectors of the economy, our litigation work is diverse. It includes all phases of preparation, trial and appellate litigation of actions in all courts. In addition, we are regularly involved in local and international arbitration cases. Worth noting is the Pluna restructuring that won the Restructuring Deal of the Year awarded by Latin Lawyer in 2017.
Banking and finance: The firm enjoys a dominant presence in the Uruguayan financial community, advising the most relevant players in the market. It has a strong capital markets practice, having participated in many of the most prominent recent deals, including issuances of debt securities, future-flows securitisations, project bonds and financial trust vehicles of consumer loans.
Corporate/M&A: The firm’s international corporate and M&A practice has placed its lawyers at the centre of the most complex and challenging transactions in Uruguay. The transactional work includes mergers, spin-offs, stock purchases and transfers of assets, and is usually interrelated with the labour and tax practices.
Project finance, energy, oil and gas, natural resources, agribusiness: The firm is second-to-none in a new wave of project finance transactions that have taken centre stage in the Uruguayan market, especially in the energy sector. The firm has already participated in the project financing of 15 wind farms. It is also in the driving seat in the surge of public–private partnerships, having participated in the first two PPP projects in Uruguay’s history, which included the first-ever issuance of project bonds in Uruguay, and the first financing granted by an infrastructure fund sponsored by CAF.
Labour and employment: The firm’s well-regarded labour department represents employers in matters involving all aspects of work relations; contracts, collective bargaining, employment litigation, outsourcing, employment compensation and social security.
Tax and accounting: Our tax and accounting practice gives support to our business practice, in as much as tax issues associated with business organisation planning, foreign investments, free zones and offshore activities arise.
