We are proud to announce that Larry Swibel, founding partner of our firm, participated as a panelist at the International Bar Association (IBA) Annual Conference in Mexico City, last week. The panel discussion, titled "Young Talent Attraction: The In-House and Law Firm Dichotomy," brought together legal leaders from Amazon, Uber, and worldwide attorneys from Argentina, Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, Mexico, and the U.S. We extend our gratitude to the panel’s organizers, Rosina Muller Bernar, and Erika Villareal from the IBA Young Lawyers Committee, for orchestrating such a meaningful dialogue.   The panel addressed critical insights into attracting and retaining young legal talent, highlighting the key differences between in-house legal roles and law firm environments. Practical advice was shared for organizations looking to build stronger connections with the new generation of attorneys, as well as career guidance for emerging talent within the legal sector.   As a firm committed to supporting young lawyers, we are proud to be part of this important conversation, which underscored the need for understanding the unique opportunities within both in-house and law firm settings.   #LegalProfession #TalentAttraction #LawFirm #InHouseCounsel #FutureLeaders #IBA2024 #IBAMexico #InternationalBarAssociation #IBAAnnualConference #InternationalLawFirm #InternationalLawyer #AnzolaRoblesAssociados #Uber #Amazon #ZangBergelVines #FoxSwibel #Talentretention #YoungLawyersCommittee #IBAYoungLawyersCommittee

We celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month to recognize and honor the contributions of the Hispanic, Latinx and Chicano communities. Collectively, these communities have been trailblazers in advocating for justice and equality. Civil rights activists such as Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta and judicial appointees such as Sonia Sotomayor have broken down barriers and paved the way for younger generations; they have not only advanced legal principles but have also championed the rights and dignity of diverse communities. During this month, we express our appreciation for these communities for always demonstrating how diverse perspectives enrich our legal system and contribute to a more just and equitable society. We are grateful for the rich tapestry of cultures and experiences that our Hispanic, Latinx and Chicano colleagues and clients bring, and we are committed to creating a workplace where every individual’s heritage is acknowledged and valued. #hispanicheritagemonth2024 #DEI
