About

Provided by Andersen Uruguay

Andersen has Uruguay’s leading real estate acquisition advisory team, composed of a team of bilingual conveyance attorneys. We assist hundreds of foreign nationals and companies every year in properly structuring property purchases, conducting title searches and ultimately ensuring the obtaining of a clean title. Our professionals understand the considerations that a foreign buyer should have regarding estate laws, tax implications and ownership options. We walk every client through these issues, to ensure that their ownership goals are met.

We structure and advise in the acquisition of residential and commercial real estate throughout all of Uruguay, from condominium units in cities such as Montevideo, Punta del Este and Colonia, to undeveloped beachfront in Rocha. In farmland purchases, we handle dozens of transactions annually, throughout all of Uruguay’s 19 provinces.

The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, among others, have consistently pointed out our firm’s expertise in real estate law. F&S is the law firm of choice for the world’s leading title insurers: First American Title Insurance Corp., Fidelity Title Insurance and Stewart Title Guaranty.

In real estate development, Andersen is a leading advisor to real estate developers. Our partners have experience in the development of major commercial ventures such as Uruguay’s main shopping malls, as well as in setting up investment structures to build residential projects in Uruguay’s main cities.
