MERSAN, a long-standing legal services firm in Paraguay specializing in intellectual property, tax law, competition law, and corporate advisory services, announced the appointment of Sebastián Pérez Caballero as a new partner.
The objective of his role, the firm stated, will be to develop four main practice areas in the initial stage: accounting and BPO services, tax, audit, and consulting, supported by interdisciplinary teams that include not only accountants but also professionals such as systems engineers, economists, and specialists in the social sciences.
“Looking ahead, we are working on opening new offices. Paraguay has established itself as one of the countries with the greatest stability and sustained growth in the region, and our goal is to accompany that process, growing alongside the country and strengthening MERSAN’s presence within this context of development,” Pérez Caballero said in an interview with Café y Negocios.
Throughout his career, the Uruguayan professional worked at a regional professional services firm, where he began as an assistant in the outsourcing area and eventually became a partner. In this role, he spent three years in Uruguay and twelve in Paraguay, a path that allowed him to understand the organization from its most operational levels to strategic decision-making positions, passing through all intermediate stages.
“With more than 20 years of experience in accounting, tax, and corporate advisory services, Sebastián has a solid track record across multiple industries, including finance, agribusiness, real estate, and services,” MERSAN stated.
In parallel, within the business community, he served as President of the Paraguayan–Uruguayan Chamber of Commerce based in Asunción. He currently remains involved with the institution as a director and past president.
