Reflecting our commitment to our Uruguay-based clients and the wider Latin America region, we are excited to announce that we have established a presence in Uruguay.

The new office is the firm’s twelfth office in the region and is located in Montevideo, Uruguay. With more than ten years of experience supporting a wide range of clients in a variety of sectors, María Inés Menvielle will lead Fragomen’s operations in Uruguay and will be supported on the ground by a team of immigration professionals.

“This is an exciting time for our Latin America practice and for the wider firm,” said Federico Solis, Managing Partner for Latin America and the Caribbean at Fragomen. “We have long represented a dynamic range of clients in Uruguay and we are excited to offer truly local support while expanding our services in the region.”

The Uruguay office adds to Fragomen’s already robust presence in the region, which includes offices in Argentina, Brazil (Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro), Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.

“Montevideo is an increasingly critical hub for businesses in the region and it was important for us to respond to client and business needs and establish a presence on the ground in Uruguay,” said Leonor Echeverría, Partner. “We’re looking forward to collaborating with our colleagues to make the Uruguay office a resounding success.”

Fragomen in Uruguay is affiliated with Immigration Specialists Uruguay S.A.S.
