Mrs Marysol Estigarribia > Ferrere > Asuncion, Paraguay > Lawyer Profile

Ferrere has grown its dispute resolution practice recently, adding to its extensive list of national and international clients. The firm has a strong focus on complex commercial litigation, handling claims involving financial contracts, contract enforcement, consumer protection, and insolvency proceedings. The team has experience in administrative and regulatory proceedings related to customs, river transportation and maritime law, and distribution law disputes are a niche strength. Practice co-head Néstor Loizaga has experience in distribution-related cases, and advises key clients such as Cargill and AstraZeneca. He leads the team alongside Miguel Saguier, a litigation expert specialising in commercial, civil and administrative disputes, who was promoted to the partnership in January 2023. Marysol Estigarribia heads the firm’s labour litigation practice, while senior associate Raúl Pereira has international arbitration experience, and has participated in some of the team’s high-profile arbitration matters.

Ferrere‘s labour and employment team gives specialised advice to international clients looking to establish or manage local operations in Paraguay, while also advising clients on day-to-day labour and social security matters. The practice is very strong in litigation, and has recently handled several complex harassment cases. The firm’s internal compliance practice continues to establish itself, advising clients on the misuse of work tools, compliance with labour obligations and gross misconduct cases. Marysol Estigarribia leads the team and is praised for her ‘team empowerment and management capacity in every aspect’. Senior associate Antonella Llamas participates in matters related to human resources and José Trinidad specialises in labour litigation. At the associate level, Matias Chaves attracts significant praise from clients.
