FERRERE’s Tax Practice Group, consisting of over thirty attorneys and accountants, is one of the largest tax teams in Uruguay. It advises clients on all tax needs and participates in business structuring, from mergers or acquisitions of companies through obtaining tax benefits for investment projects. It assembles project financing, designs financial products, analyzes transfer pricing, and implements real estate developments. Its active network of international contacts and offices in Paraguay and Bolivia allow FERRERE to respond to queries and manage business in various jurisdictions.

In the last decade FERRERE resolved the bulk of large tax disputes spurring public debate in Uruguay. The cases include representing the country’s chief supermarket chain in a shutdown request by tax authorities, defense of various financial and credit card institutions during tough tax inspections, and recovery of taxes unduly collected by tax authorities from importers.

“You don’t have to wait when you need an answer; the lawyers get back to you with accurate counsel straight away.” That’s how the clients describe the tax advice they receive from FERRERE, as published in Chambers.

Chambers recognizes the firm for its experience and talent in tax disputes, and International Tax Review gave it the “Tax Disputes Firm of the Year” award (2010).

Among dozens of clients, FERRERE proudly represents Archer Daniels Midland, Banco Santander, Global Forest Partners, Weyerhaeuser, Exxon Mobil, UBS, Subway, and Zara.
