This paper aims to analyze the trade in services between Brazil and Uruguay, more specically, the communication and information technology (CIT) and software sector. Therefore, this study is divided into three distinct moments. First, it addresses the international regulation on trade in services in the multilateral and in regional level. Subsequently, it promotes a study about the reality of trade in services between Brazil and Uruguay. At last, it analyses the communication and information technology (CIT) and software sector and its potential complementarities that could boost trade between the two countries. The methodology adopted in the development of this research is bibliography, descriptive and exploratory. In conclusion, it can be afrmed that Brazil and Uruguay should promote cooperation policies between services subsectors, particularly CIT and software, fostering the exchange of technology and production integration. The article is original, because there are few recent legal studies on trade in services between Brazil and Uruguay in the specic areas addressed, and may result in future public policies for promoting trade between the two countries.
