Vázquez Tercero & Zepeda (VTZ) announces a new phase of institutional growth through the strategic expansion of its award-winning International Trade and Customs team, as well as the strengthening of its Corporate, Venture Capital, Banking & Finance practices. This move responds to the increasing demand for comprehensive legal advice in transactions that combine financial structuring, corporate governance, and regulatory compliance.
