Send Lawyers, Rigs and Money: The Opening of the Mexican Energy Industry
November 7, 2013
The legal framework governing Mexico’s energy industry celebrated its 75th birthday this year. But the adage, “the older the violin, the sweeter the music” would not apply in this case. Mexico is facing an epic production crisis and its oil and gas industry is in desperate need of capital, technology and technical expertise to turn the situation around. Over the past eight years, crude oil production has declined rapidly, dropping from a peak of 3.4 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2004...

November 7, 2013
A Harvard Law School degree looks great on paper, but technology-savvy law firms can often trump competitors who come to beauty contests armed only with Ivy League pedigrees. That was the message of the 75-minute In-House Counsel Panel at the 2013 Legal Marketing Technology Conference/West, held in San Francisco Tuesday at the Hotel Nikko.
