FERRERE was once again included in the latest edition of the Green Guide prepared by The Legal 500, one of the most internationally renowned legal publications. With this, the firm continues to reaffirm its position as a regional leader in ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues, among a selection of only 38 firms in Latin America.
The guide, now in its third edition, recognizes FERRERE in a regional panorama where “For many of Latin America’s current governments, prioritizing the green transition has become a driving force for change, positioning the region as a crucial contributor to the global sustainable development agenda.”
The Legal 500 recognizes the FERRERE Uruguay team for its support in “advising clients in sustainable finance transactions as well as in renewable energy projects, including in the hydrogen and biofuels sectors.” In particular, it highlights two leading cases: advising the Municipality of Montevideo on structuring a bond issuance with a value of circa USD 40m through a financial trust for renewal of the city’s public transit fleet, and support to Conecta and Montevideo Gas on a joint venture to build a green hydrogen production plant.
The publication also spotlights the firm’s Paraguay team for “advising clients in conservation projects across the country, with a particular focus on the forestry sector.” Among the highlighted cases, the research team underscores the firm’s assisting a client on an important native forest conservation investment, to be certified as a REDD+ carbon credit project.
FERRERE’s regional ESG practice is led by Sebastián Ramos and Cristina Vignone in Uruguay, Guillermo Jover and Marcelo Rodríguez in Paraguay, and Diego Villarroel and Jorge Palza in Bolivia.
