Posadas, Posadas & Vecino

With more than 85 years of history, Posadas, Posadas & Vecino (PPV) is one of the largest and most prestigious full service firms in Uruguay, having nowadays a truly international perspective. PPV was the first Uruguayan firm to open branches within the country (Zonamerica and Punta del Este) and the only one, as of today, with offices in Europe (Geneva).

The firm’s leading position is built on its ability to support clients in highly complex business transactions, advising multinational corporations, financial institutions and local companies in a broad range of practice areas. PPV has been involved in most of the major deals and relevant cases over the past few years in virtually every sector of business.

The firm prides itself on keeping its tradition in the practice of law, providing personal attention to clients with great involvement from partners in the cases handled. Our professionals are highly specialized; most were educated abroad and gained experience working at international firms, and are therefore fluent in several foreign languages.

With regards to mining experience, PPV has historically advised clients in a wide range of mining projects. Currently the firm is assisting a UK-based mining company and Uruguayan subsidiaries in developing an iron ore project worth some US$3 billion – representing the largest ever foreign direct investment in Uruguay’s history. The project includes a mineral processing plant, a slurry pipeline which will transport iron ore and a private shipping terminal at the port.
