Universidad ORT, the largest private university in Uruguay, is a FERRERE client. So are Berlitz, the leading international institution for the teaching of English and other languages, the Alliance Française, the most widely recognized institution for the teaching of French, and the Fundación Torres García, one of the most dynamic of the arts-related cultural institutions.

FERRERE has advised clients in this sector during the critical phases of the regulatory changes that have transformed educational and cultural activities during the past thirty years.

Tax-specialist lawyers have negotiated, and when it was unavoidable litigated, many of the critical questions pertaining to the constitutional tax exemptions and incentives that apply to the sector.

FERRERE represents non-profit and for-profit local and international educational institutes. The firm’s philanthropic activities, directed toward promoting greater social integration, involve supporting community-interest departments, education and social promotion based on the social pyramid, and international university training scholarships for top-ranked students.
