About

Provided by Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga

Our dispute practice is all-encompassing: it includes court litigation as well as alternative dispute mechanisms such as mediation and arbitration, and spans every industry and sector of the economy.

We represent clients in both day-to-day and also “bet-the-company” litigation. We have solid experience in banking litigation, bank secrecy, loan collections, restructurings and bankruptcies, and contractual disputes.

Our firm has recently experienced a surge in arbitration matters, partly thanks to our Managing Partner Fernando Jimenez de Arechaga’s reputation in this practice, his designation as Uruguay’s permanent representative before the International Chamber of Commerce and his membership in the panel of arbitrators of the Uruguayan Chamber of Commerce. In addition, other professionals of Jiménez are included in the roster of arbitrators of the Uruguayan Chamber of Commerce.

Our litigation department handled and successfully led the most noteworthy bankruptcy case in the country, of the bankrupt national airline PLUNA, with outstanding results to all creditors.

We also handle regular litigation matters for McDonald’s, Ericsson and Pepsi.
