Ferrere has established itself as a leading law firm in Paraguay, following more than a decade of steady growth and participation in some of the largest deals in the market and advising a portfolio of clients consisting of 70% of international corporations, advising the majority of the biggest companies in Latin America according to the LACCA annual report. Ferrere has a local team of more than 50 professionals with unparalleled experience in all areas of law. The firm fosters specialisation, but also promotes wide-reaching training of its professionals, so that they can better understand the needs and businesses of its clients.
The firm’s transactional teams are consistently busy. M&A work is traditionally a core area, while the firm is a first port of call for finance work and has an enviable market share in domestic and international capital markets, project financing, environmental and competition law. Ferrere is also very strong in disputes, intellectual property, logistics and real estate and tax.
Ferrere is the only multi-jurisdictional, purely South American law firm. It has 150+ attorneys throughout Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay and stands out for its US-style structure, methodologies and policies. The firm has developed international standards and homogeneous services, guaranteed by integrated, vertical practice groups and procedures, and a firm-wide training programme. Ferrere is exceptional in the three jurisdictions in which it operates. It is a fully merit-based organisation with a mandatory early retirement policy and a strong focus on promoting diversity, with women making up 30 per cent of the partnership.
Constantly one step ahead, the firm keeps abreast of new technological developments and invests heavily in innovation, targeting like-minded clients in newer sectors and strengthening niche departments.
