Founded just before the beginning of the 20th century, Hughes & Hughes, faithful to its commitment, faces the new millenium with a modern, updated, and efficient organization. These attributes have allowed us to become not only one of the most reputable and respected law firms in Uruguay but also the leader in advising multinational companies.

The late Conrado H. Hughes (1904-1983), one of our most renowned former partners, was the first to introduce in Uruguay the international concept of business law practice. Thenceforth, our firm has dynamically grown to become a benchmark in the legal environment. Hughes & Hughes' respectability, reputation, and leadership are based not only on the excellence of its legal work but also on the way its legal practice is conducted.
