“The fierce commitment of the senior lawyers, their proactive approach and continual contact makes it feel like a US firm.” This is the definition the firm’s clients provided to Chambers upon evaluating FERRERE’s services. And they add that, “its strengths lie in its fast response times, exceptional courtroom performance and thorough understanding of client’s needs.”

The Litigation and Arbitration team represents clients involved in corporate disputes, companies resolving strategic controversies, government contractors facing disputes to preserve rights or concessions, companies fighting for their growth and corporations litigating for hefty sums. FERRERE returns that confidence by defending each client’s interests to the final consequences. Before the courts or in out-of-court settlements, depending on the most convenient scenario for the client, this practice group demands the highest professional excellence without overlooking cost control.

The over twenty attorneys devoted exclusively to litigating, experienced in hundreds of cases, the majority with masters from major Uruguayan, European or US universities, include distinguished university professors. When called upon by foreign professionals or when seeking their collaboration, the team coordinates effectively with firms in diverse jurisdictions.

Chambers highlights FERRERE’s arbitration practice as “especially strong.” In the context of different regulations, the firm represents clients in local and international arbitration, both in Uruguay and abroad, and its performance has been exceptional in arbitration proceedings under the International Chamber of Commerce Arbitration Rules.
