Free Trade Zones & Industrial Parks

We provide advice to local and foreign companies in all aspects of their creation, start-up, and operations in free zones or industrial parks in Uruguay.

We have collaborated in the installation and start-up of companies from various sectors, such as financial services, pharmaceutical, infrastructure, chemicals, agribusiness, among others.

We are permanently updated with the regulation for this sector, which is characterized by being dynamic and subject to constant revision. This allows us to offer our clients the immediate and proper advice when making decisions. We are used to interact with industry regulators who keep us updated about the regulation.

Our services comprise:

Advice on how to become a free-zone user: user agreements; preparation and filing of business plans; other procedures required depending on the needs of the company and its activity or services.

Analysis of suitable corporate structures for business development in industrial parks; legal assistance to conclude agreements on the creation, start-up and development of operations.

Advice, preparation and execution of the contracts required for the operations to be undertaken by the companies in free zones and industrial parks.
