Overview

The Mexican legal and business environment has – like its counterparts all over the world – experienced a number of seismic shocks over the last 12 months. The country’s lawyers and businesspeople have had to adapt to dramatic changes in their circumstances, and undertook huge efforts to keep both companies and legal teams operational. As the world slowly and cautiously emerges from 2020, the only certainty on the horizon seems to be more uncertainty.
