The Estudio Juridico Gross Brown, continues to specialize, excel and improve in the local legal scene by providing top-of-the-line legal counseling and services in commercial, banking, corporate and labor matters. By dedicating ourselves to efficiency in the problem-solving process and constantly updating our human resources we managed to gain the stable confidence of such multinational representative clients as Citibank N.A., Lloyds Bank Plc, ING/Barrings Bank, Royal Dutch/Shell Group, Texaco Inc., and Telefonica Internacional, who actually form part of our client portfolio. In order to better serve our client’s needs and to keep up with the new trends and developments in the legal world, we have recently opened the door to our new office building that boasts having state-of-the-art technology, which includes, amongst others, a fully equipped satellite office for those clients who need to feel right at home when visiting Paraguay.

The law firm concentrates and specializes in all areas related to corporate and business affairs such as corporate, commercial, banking, tax and labor law. Ever since its beginning, when Dr. Sigfrido V. Gross Brown founded the firm in 1944, it has provided a full gamma of services related to financial and banking activities. Throughout the years, the Estudio Juridico Gross Brown was able to stand out amongst its peers in the area of banking, commercial, and corporate law since it has been the sole provider of legal services to such international financial companies as Citibank N.A., Lloyd’s Bank TSB, and ING/Barrings Bank for more than two decades. Moreover, it has also gained the confidence of local financial institutions of great prestige such as Multibanco SAECA and the Asociacion de Bancos del Paraguay (Paraguayan Bank Association), an entity that embodies all national and international banks authorized to do business in the country.

As the years passed and as our reputation grew, we have expanded our client portfolio to include companies dedicated to the provision of goods and services. Companies such as Telefonica Internacional, Guerlain, Lockheed Martin, Shell Oil, Interwave, and Burger King have aided our specialization in areas of the law specifically related to foreign investment and the incorporation of foreign capital goods enabling it to gain mastery in rules regulating corporations and joint ventures with international companies. Gross Brown has also given special attention to judicial and extrajudicial affairs related to new laws regulating Agency, Distribution, and Representation agreements.

Similarly, there has also been a constant increase in the volume of clients dedicated to industrial activities such as the Royal Dutch Shell Group.
Likewise, Estudio Juridico Gross Brown has gained experience with public licitations through its participation in local and international bids that include the opening of wireless communication bands, radar control in the national territory, and others, successfully representing many international companies interested in the telecommunications area. We currently represent Telefonica Internacional, one of the few companies participating in the process of privatization of the sole provider of telecommunications in Paraguay, Copaco, which is currently owned by the government.

When the firm was founded, a very strong and effective litigation department was installed. Ever since its beginning, this department was composed, among others, of former judicial magistrates and Members of the Court of Appeal. It currently fulfills the client’s demands in all of the areas of the law, especially litigation related to business activities that delve into civil, commercial, labor and tax law. Gross Brown was able to find a perfect combination by mixing a young, dynamic and effective department of litigators with the knowledge, expertise, and counsel of the legal department, achieving efficient and expedite results.

The attorneys of the firm are currently affiliated to international organizations like the Inter American Bar Association, and the Latin American Banking Institute.
