PepsiCo’s concentrate plant in Colonia Free Zone, already Latin America’s largest, will end up being one of the three largest plants worldwide.

Mondelez acquired renowned food brand Cabdury worldwide. Our Firm was in charge of implementing the merger in Uruguay, a lengthy process that finally ended in January 2019, partaking in long and intricate negotiations that have only very recently come to fruition, including a full tax exemption on the transaction.
Our Firm has provided legal advice addressing all the local regulatory aspects that should be complied with, including (without limitation) regulations regarding consumer protection, data protection, minority protection, media content and advertising, copyright, intellectual property and taxes.
