As counsels specialized in banking law, we have been involved in the largest financial transactions in Uruguay ever, and as advisors to firms in the financial sector, we have been in the forefront of new financial trends, taking part in innovative, complex transactions.

Our practice includes:

• Project funding under traditional Project Finance layouts
• Complex structured funding, securities issues, trusts structuring, mutual funds, and assets securitization
• Mergers and acquisitions 
• Advice on the setting up or incorporation of entities regulated by the Central Bank of Uruguay
• Unequaled experience in advice to regulated entities operating in the FOREX/CFD market and in online trading
• Comprehensive and ongoing advice on the development and negotiation of banking and stock contracts, fiduciary businesses, funding, guarantees, and transactions involving financial assets and derivatives, such as options and futures
• Reorganization and liquidation of banks and other companies in the financial sector.

The opinion of members of our firm has been sought by lawmakers in the making of the framework designed to govern the Uruguayan financial system.

We have been involved in the funding of projects in the sectors of tourism, hospitality, agribusiness, industrial manufacturing, and mining. In recent years, we have had ongoing, fluent contact with regional and international credit entities such as IFC, IADB, CAF, and private international funds.
