ECIJA strengthens its presence in Uruguay with the incorporation of Agustín López as a new partner
ECIJA continues to consolidate its growth in Latin America with the incorporation of Agustín López as a new partner at its office in Uruguay, where he will lead the Sports and Entertainment area.
Agustín López has a solid professional career in legal advice to agents, clubs, athletes, federations, and investment funds, combining his technical knowledge with a strategic vision of the sports industry and its business environment.
His experience also extends to the field of financial and fiduciary law, including private banking services, wealth planning, and support for foreign investors interested in Uruguay, which has allowed him to consolidate a transversal practice between the sports, financial, and international investment worlds.
With this incorporation, ECIJA strengthens one of its most emblematic and globally projected areas, Sports & Entertainment, and consolidates its presence in the Southern Cone, which is key to its regional strategy in Ibero-America.
López's signing adds to other recent strategic incorporations of the firm in the region: Enrique Fuentes as the responsible partner for Real Estate Law in Chile, and Viviana García as a partner in the Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) area in Peru. These integrations confirm ECIJA's sustained commitment to local talent and coordinated expansion in Latin America, where the firm has a direct presence in 18 countries and one of the largest legal networks in the region.
