2. Redomiciliación de una sociedad constituida en el exterior
La redomiciliación en Uruguay de una sociedad extranjera es posible y supone, más allá de ciertas demoras adicionales derivadas de la traducción y legalización de documentación emitida en el exterior, un trámite similar a la constitución de una sociedad uruguaya.
Un primer aspecto que debe considerarse es si la legislación del país de origen admite la redomiciliación en el exterior de las sociedades constituidas en esa jurisdicción, extremo que pudo corroborarse para B.V.I. y que, en principio, no ofrecería dificultades.
Desde el punto de vista práctico, la redomiciliación de Raymond James Global Securities de B.V.I. a nuestro país, sería equivalente a la constitución por acto único de una sociedad anónima uruguaya, donde sus fundadores son la sociedad extranjera y sus representantes. En tal sentido, debe existir un Acta del órgano competente de la sociedad de B.V.I. donde se resuelva la redomiciliación de la sociedad y se transcriba el estatuto que regirá a la nueva sociedad. El estatuto a adoptar deberá estar conforme a las leyes uruguayas, tanto en cuanto a objeto, capital y demás aspectos institucionales de la sociedad.

2. Change of domicile for a corporation established overseas
The change to a Uruguay domicile for a foreign corporation is possible and involves, beyond certain additional delays derived from the translation and legalization of foreign-issued documentation, a proceeding similar to that for the establishment of a Uruguayan corporation.
An initial aspect to be considered is whether the laws of the country of origin admit changing the domicile to another country for the corporations established in said jurisdiction, which in the case of B.V.I was verified to be the case, and which in principle would present no difficulties.
From a practical point of view, changing the domicile of XXX Global Securities from B.V.I. to Uruguay would be equivalent to, in a single act, establishing a Uruguayan stock corporation, whereby its founders would be the shareholders and their attorneys. To that end, XXX would be required to submit the Minutes from the competent body of the B.V.I. corporation resolving the change of domicile of the corporation and transcribing the articles of incorporation that will govern the new corporation. The Articles of Incorporation to be adopted will have to be in accordance with the Uruguayan law, both in terms of purpose and capital as well as regarding other institutional aspects of the corporation.

Teaching Financial Translation at a university level (NYU)
After 10 years living in New York, I moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I worked as a correspondent for Dow Jones Newswires, and later headed the Brazil content operations of Patagon, an online financial company that dealt with market news and personal finance throughout Latin America. My duties at Patagon included:
Translating all combinations of English, Spanish & Portuguese
Editing original news stories and translations,
Writing original articles and columns on markets, business and personal finance that would appeal to a Brazilian or a general Latin American audience (in English and Spanish, which I translated into Portuguese).
My free-lance experience is heavily focused on business and legal work, with a growing practice related to government and international organizations, dealing with issues such as:
· Money-laundering
· International trade
· Public-health initiatives (tobacco, AIDS, drugs)
· Millenium Goals in water and sanitation
· Public administration reform
My experience in financial journalism has given me a leg up in truly understanding business and its language. It has also provided me with strong research skills, and with hundreds of industry contacts to turn to when researching a term.
Other relevant experience:
Court-interpreting, 2 years' practice (1992-93) in several New Jersey courts, after passing the test of the NJ Administrative Office of the Courts in sight, consecutive, and simultaneous interpreting.
Beyond my web-based research of original copy of contracts, business literature, etc., in order to keep up with the language of business and with good writing in general, I am subscribed to (and regularly read)
The Wall Street Journal
The Economist
The New Yorker
The New York Times
Bilingual English-Spanish. Born and raised in Uruguay, attending a British school from kindergarden through high-school.
Lived for one year in Madrid, followed by ten years in New York and three in Sao Paulo. For the past three years I have split my residence between Uruguay and Turkey. I spend at least one month a year in New York.
Certificate in Translation Studies from New York University was in the Spanish > English combination. I later taught Financial Translation into Spanish when NYU added the Spanish program.
My rates are 10 cents (USD) per target word for regular jobs, 15 cents for rush jobs.
