We have more than 15 years of experience in developing real estate deals for our local and international clients.
To date, we have participated in the development of private neighborhoods, country clubs, as well as in the construction of building complexes, hotel complexes and rural farm complexes.
Our advice includes the structuring of projects using the most appropriate instruments on a case-by-case basis. Many of these have been structured through trusts, to function as fundraising instruments and to order business among partners, facilitating the sale and marketing of the units.
The presence of tax specialists in our team allows us to optimize the fiscal aspects of each project from the very first meeting with the client.
Over the years, we have collaborated with innovative ideas for the realization of new projects and have actively participated in the management of numerous deals for our clients.

We maintain a strong link with the rice industry, advising rice mills and producers in their day-to-day business. We have collaborated with producers and agribusinesses to make possible dam construction projects, allowing crops to be grown under irrigation.
We advise several agribusinesses and distributors in their entire line of business, from access to credit to the elaboration of contracts for the commercialization and collection of products.
We collaborate with clients in all stages of the commercialization of live cattle and provide advisory services to brokers and consignees, supporting them in the structuring of guarantee trusts to offer legal security to their operations.
Regarding the purchase of farmland, we work with experienced notaries, but our service goes beyond that. We have a nationwide network of contacts that allows us to advise our clients on all key aspects of the business related to the fields of their interest.
Recently, we have advised foreign investment funds on the purchase of over 30 thousand hectares of farmland, to legally and fiscally structure their businesses and maximize their investment.
This experience has led to receiving requests from foreign clients to assist them with investments outside Uruguay, collaborating with colleagues in Paraguay, Argentina and Bolivia.

Companies that receive regular advice benefit from a service aimed at both facilitating their operations and preventing future disputes, ensuring that they are in a good position should problems eventually arise.

We have members of our team who have been part of Uruguay's defense team in ICSID arbitrations in recent years.

Consultoría en automatización de procesos
Process automation is key to optimize an organization's administrative and operational tasks, eliminating repetitive activities and improving overall efficiency. This approach frees up resources and allows you to focus on what really matters: innovation and business growth.
We specialize in implementing RPA (robotic process automation) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems. AI acts as a fundamental ally, enabling more advanced analytics, pattern prediction and the automation of complex decisions, taking efficiency to another level. Thanks to our experience and expertise, we can identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement, designing customized solutions that automate tasks such as invoice processing, bank reconciliations and report generation, among others. This not only reduces human error, but also speeds up execution times, increasing productivity.
The approach is to work closely with the client's team, identifying specific needs and proposing a clear and effective action plan. We believe that technology should be an accessible tool, so the implementation process is geared towards enabling staff to adapt and take full advantage of the new capabilities.
Automation is not only a technical tool, it is a strategy to transform the way a company operates. This consulting service seeks to help optimize processes and take productivity to the next level, driving success in an agile and efficient way.
