Symposium Program:

The Symposium would address the coming changes in the Mexican legal system, their multiple ramifications, and their effects in the areas that most affect the U.S.-Mexico relationship and particularly the U.S.-Texas border: bilateral trade, international investment, tariffs, natural resources management, and migration control. It will be addressed primarily to international business lawyers, businesspeople in Texas and Mexico and feature selected speakers/specialists on each topic with the highest professional standing.
