Uruguay legal data from official sources, structured for AI and legaltech.
Uruguayan laws, regulations, and court decisions live across the Diario Oficial (published by IMPO), the Parlamento del Uruguay, government ministries, regulators, and the courts. Lawstronaut structures legal data from official sources into one format used across more than 150 jurisdictions — with every record linked to its official source. Structured Uruguay coverage is not yet live; Team and Enterprise customers can request priority onboarding of the sources below.

Uruguayan legal source types we structure
Uruguayan legal coverage will include primary legislation, secondary legislation, regulatory materials, court decisions, guidance, enforcement documents, and legislative history where available.

Legislative History
Draft bills and parliamentary materials from the Cámara de Representantes and the Cámara de Senadores (Asamblea General) where available, version by version, each tied to its source.
Regulatory Guidance & Enforcement
Circulars, communications, decisions, and enforcement materials from Uruguayan regulators such as the Banco Central del Uruguay (BCU), the URCDP, URSEC, URSEA, and the Dirección General Impositiva (DGI).
Case Law
Court and tribunal decisions from official and authoritative Uruguayan sources, including the Suprema Corte de Justicia and the Tribunal de lo Contencioso Administrativo (TCA), where available.
One Uruguayan legal data layer. Four ways to use it.
Lawstronaut API
Query Uruguayan laws, regulations, court decisions, regulatory guidance, and enforcement materials through a REST API. Use structured metadata, full text, Markdown, source links, and version history to power legaltech products, compliance workflows, and internal research tools. Uruguay coverage is being onboarded — the endpoint below is live and will return records as coverage lands.
GET /v2/contents?iso=UY&limit=20Lawstronaut MCP
Connect ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and other AI agents to Uruguayan legal sources. Questions become live searches against the corpus and return citation-ready answers grounded in official Uruguayan materials — deployable in minutes, with no integration work, once coverage is live.
AI Agent Integration
Give your legal AI agent same-turn provenance: it retrieves current Uruguayan legal materials — official source links, metadata, and full text — before generating an answer, with a citation and timestamp on every response.

Why Lawstronaut for Uruguayan legal research
Uruguayan legal information is spread across the Diario Oficial and IMPO, the Parlamento, ministries, autonomous agencies, regulators, courts, and publication sources. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Uruguay legal coverage
Uruguay is a civil-law jurisdiction in the continental European (Roman-French) tradition and a unitary presidential republic. Primary legislation is enacted by the General Assembly (Asamblea General) — the Cámara de Representantes and the Cámara de Senadores — and published in the Diario Oficial, maintained by IMPO (Centro de Información Oficial). Regulatory policy sits across ministries and autonomous agencies such as the Banco Central del Uruguay, the URCDP, URSEC, URSEA, and the Dirección General Impositiva. Case law spans the Suprema Corte de Justicia, the Tribunal de lo Contencioso Administrativo, and the Tribunales de Apelaciones. Legal materials are published in Spanish.
Uruguayan law moves quickly: the 2020 Ley de Urgente Consideración (Law No. 19.889) reshaped a wide range of policy areas, the financial inclusion regime under Law No. 19.210 (2014) reset payment and banking rules, the cannabis regulation and control framework under Law No. 19.172 (2013) remains a reference regime, and personal data protection under Law No. 18.331 (2008) continues to develop alongside Uruguay's EU adequacy status — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Uruguay legal research answer correct today.
