Latin America Guide
Brussels, São Paulo, 10 May 2026 | The new guide to Latin America and Mercosur provides an overview of the economic and legal environment for foreign investors looking to expand into Latin America. It focuses on five key countries: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Uruguay. It describes the key economic conditions, regulatory frameworks and legal aspects that influence market entry and business operations.
International companies entering a new market must address a range of strategic and legal issues. These include choosing the appropriate corporate structure, complying with labour and tax regulations, protecting intellectual property, and managing regulatory risks. This brochure provides a structured introduction to these topics and highlights the key factors influencing investment decisions in the selected countries.
Alliuris supports international companies throughout the entire expansion process. Alliuris is a global network of independent commercial law firms that work closely together to provide coordinated legal services across jurisdictions. Through this alliance, companies receive reliable local legal advice combined with cross-border strategic support.
Why Latin America?
Latin America represents an important growth region for international companies. Several countries in the region offer large domestic markets, a growing middle class and rising demand for industrial, technological and consumer goods.
The region also offers access to significant natural resources and strategic industries. These include mining, agriculture, renewable energy, food production and infrastructure development. Many global supply chains rely on Latin American resources such as copper, lithium, agricultural commodities and energy.
At the same time, Latin American economies are becoming increasingly integrated into global trade and production networks. Trade agreements with key economic partners, an expanding logistics infrastructure and growing digital sectors have strengthened the region’s position in international markets. These developments create new opportunities for foreign companies seeking production sites, sales markets or strategic partnerships.
