Ferrere

Corporate and Commercial

FERRERE’s corporate and commercial team is the largest of its type in Uruguay. Three of the firm’s partners, devoted exclusively to Corporate and Commercial, supervise more than thirty attorneys who, in turn, have the immediate support of professionals specializing in other areas.

The team’s professionals know their clients’ business and work with them in making strategic decisions. FERRERE assists companies on their day-to-day operations, on structuring and implementing complex deals, and also in extraordinary situations. It counsels shareholders in analyzing and organizing ventures. It drafts and negotiates local and international contracts, assists on bid processes, and on its clients’ relationships with the government. It tailors legal structures to its clients’ needs and to regulatory requirements.

The Corporate and Commercial practice provides legal services to major multinationals in diverse sectors, contributing to problem solving and facilitating their operations in Uruguay and the region. Among others, it advises Abbott Laboratories, British American Tobacco, DirecTv, Exxon, IBM, MetLife, Microsoft, Nestlé, Petrobras, Sanofi Aventis, Telefónica, Vale, and Weyerhaeuser. Many of these companies have been clients of the firm for decades. An active network of international contacts and offices in Paraguay and Bolivia enable FERRERE to respond to client queries and manage complex matters in different jurisdictions.

Martín Cerruti, partner at FERRERE, talks about how flexible you have to be to be a "business lawyer" .
