One year after combining with Dentons, the world’s largest law firm, Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga is expanding its presence in Uruguay with the opening of a new office, located in Aguada Park, Montevideo's Zona Franca (“ZF”) free trade zone.

The new office will allow Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga to better serve its clients’ needs in Uruguay and around the world and expand the depth and breadth of their services. As clients ask Dentons ‘What’s Next?,’ we continue to scale the Firm into key, strategic locations, to help them navigate the constant change - wherever they are located.

Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga ZF, the new Montevideo office, will allow Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga to serve clients which operate in multiple geographies. With a strategic location, in the southern cone of Latin America, this new office will function as a business hub that will allow new and existing clients to develop their activities in several markets, extending their horizons - locally, regionally, and globally.

"Building on the momentum we have generated across the Latin America & the Caribbean region, the opening of this new office in Uruguay will allow us to provide a service focused on clients in Zona Franca and elsewhere,” said Fernando Jiménez de Aréchaga, Managing Partner at Dentons Jiménez de Aréchaga. “In a country positioned as one of the highest recipients of foreign investment in the region, the addition of a new Uruguay office will create unique opportunities for our clients and will allow us to best serve their needs, wherever they may need them.”

"Our strategy to become the dominant global law firm in the Latin America & the Caribbean region is driven by our desire to provide our clients with the best possible service in the region and around the globe," said Jorge Alers, CEO of Dentons’ Latin America and the Caribbean Region. "Our new location in the Montevideo Zona Franca will allow us to do that, providing our clients with the tools they need to succeed in Uruguay and around the world.”
