Ferrere > Santa Cruz, Bolivia > Firm Profile

‘Responsibility and timely attention to service requirements.’

‘Diego Villarroel – Solvency in the knowledge of banking and financial law.’

‘Ferrere is making inroads into relationships with startups. This not only contributes to us as a business, but also to the country’s innovation ecosystem. The openness of the partners to learn and always be available in a new market, where there are many legal gaps in Bolivia, has been vital and very important.‘

‘Diego Villarroel seeks a more personal and non-transactional relationship. He is very open to having conversations when required and can be accessed.‘

‘I would like to highlight the assistance that we received from Diego Villaroel and Mauricio Vizcarra, when they worked as local counsel for a treaty arbitration. They are extremely responsive and come across as very knowledgeable of Bolivian law. They also understand well how Bolivian law fits within international law and a treaty dispute.’

‘Diego Villaroel is an excellent point of contact. He is extremely responsive and pragmatic.‘

‘Great team.’

Qualified professionals carry out inter-consultations with other specialties to have context and a broad vision. In relation to other firms, it is undoubtedly the agility in response time, pragmatism and assertive returns that sets it apart.’

‘The technical level and knowledge of local legislation that the Bolivian team has is vast and up-to-date, which has made this firm a reliable ally for us and raises the bar of the firms I have worked with in my career.’

‘The response time is outstanding. In this company, issues move very quickly, so it is essential that our legal advisors can react in the same way, and Ferrere has certainly achieved this. We have been working together for several years now, which has allowed them to get to know our business model very well and to offer solutions that fit our operation and our constant need to innovate. I have mainly worked with Pablo Heredia, who is a lawyer with vast experience and knowledge, who offers clear and timely answers, and is always open to clarify doubts. This, for our in-house legal team of nationality other than Bolivian, has been a great help.’
