IBA Annual Conference in Mexico City
Every year, the International Bar Association (IBA) organizes an Annual Conference to bring together thousands of lawyers, academics, and other legal professionals from more than 170 countries. In this edition, the IBA decided to organize its Annual Conference in Mexico City. At Vázquez Tercero & Zepeda (VTZ), we have been pleased to participate actively in this event for years. This time, we would like to share with you more details about our participation in this event and some suggestions on the Mexico City experience.

Moreover, Emilio Arteaga will co-chair the panel session on “Commercial considerations in nearshoring and friendshoring of supply chains”. This session will include the participation of Carolina Monteiro, founding partner of Monteiro & Weiss Trade, Nancy Fisher, partner of Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, Kenneth Smith, former Mexican negotiator of the USMCA.
