It is the only multi-jurisdictional law firm of South American origin. Its professionals provide personal, fast, and focused advice aimed at enhancing the profitability of their clients’ businesses. Among these clients are some of the most important companies in the countries where it operates, which turn to Ferrere to complete their legal coverage in the region.
The firm promotes a culture of innovation, meritocracy, and diversity. It grew based on the leadership of Daniel Ferrere. In 1996, it won the national quality award, an unprecedented achievement for a professional services firm, which set the pace for the practice.
In 2003, when the concept of a regional firm was still an oddity in Latin America, the firm opened an office in Paraguay, followed consecutively by the rest of its offices, such as in Bolivia, gradually becoming one of the most prestigious firms in Latin America.
It has a network of offices strategically located in three key Southern Cone markets: Uruguay (Montevideo, and specialized offices in Punta del Este and Zona Franca Aguada Park), Paraguay (Asunción and Ciudad del Este), and Bolivia (Santa Cruz de la Sierra and La Paz).
Ferrere’s corporate policy places diversity and social impact as measurable pillars of its operations. On the one hand, it promotes gender equity through internal inclusion committees, achieving over 50% female representation in its legal team, with growing participation in the partnership and senior management. On the other hand, as a signatory of the Pro Bono Declaration for the Americas, it requires its professionals to complete an annual mandatory quota of pro bono legal advice hours for foundations, NGOs, and social development projects in Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia.
