Towards A New Labor Paradigm In Mexico
1st Edition
Autor: Goodrich Riquelme
In the context of the renegotiations of NAFTA, both, the Peña and the López-Obrador administrations worked towards a comprehensive amendment of the country’s labor regime, pursuant to international standards, including those of the ILO’s Convention 98. The promulgation of the new Federal Labor Law is paramount to all economic sectors. The dynamics of Mexico’s union system, as well as the way in which collective bargaining agreements are negotiated and recorded, together with the formation of new labor tribunals will necessarily affect the way in which all commercial players plan their human resources policies.

Legal analysis on the regulation of Climate Change Protection concerning SENER’s new reliability policy for the National Electric System
Published on: 2020 Little has been said about the violations to the International Climate Change Regime that SENER's Policy could trigger. Our Energy Practice Group, in collaboration with Erika Roldán (former associate and current LL.M. candidate - University of Aberdeen), present a legal analysis of the international Climate Change Regime, as well as their main objectives and States obligations. Besides, a thorough analysis of Mexico's commitments under this international regime is being carried out, and a study of how the enforcement of SENER's Policy would violate Mexico's international commitments. The above, to determine whether there are available legal mechanisms that could be put in place under the International Climate Change Regime.
Arbitraje comercial y de inversión en el sector energético en América Latina
Published on: 2020
As in any other economic area, international arbitration -commercial and investment- is a resonance box within every evolutionary market. In the case of the energy sector (hydrocarbon + electricity), given its high technicity and regulated regime, as well as the fact that it is capital-intensive, more than 40% of the investment arbitrations under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) of the World Bank involve energy and infrastructure. A similar percentage exists in commercial arbitration under the auspice of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)—both leading institutions in the field. To the importance of investment arbitration in the energy industry, the already relevant, and still growing involvement of Latin America, must be added. All of the above speak to the pertinence of this book.
The book has nine chapters that are divided in two general parts: the industrial context and themed perspectives. Throughout its pages, the reader —whether lawyer, arbitrator, investor or student— can find some of the most profound —but practical— insights of the world of arbitration within the energy sector. The scope of the text ranges from economical topics to institutional design, dispute resolution preventive methods, arbitration, best practices, force majeure, regulatory expropriation, interim measures and multi-party arbitration. It is an invitation to the discernment of the most current subjects of arbitration within the energy sector, penned by some of the best writers of the region.
Energía 2050. Tecnologías, mercados y regulación
Published on: 2022
Technology has shaped the destiny of humankind, and certainly, the energy sector is no exception to this reality. In this context, climate change mitigation is subject to disruptive innovation, adequate financing and the efficient and large-scale implementation of sustainable energy technologies. However, no matter how successful these may be, their implementation is insufficient if a flexible structuring of international markets and dynamic and standardized regulatory regimes do not back them.
Under these challenging premises, some of the best specialists in Ibero-America were asked: what is needed in the area of technologies, markets, and regulation to achieve the global goal of neutrality of carbon and other greenhouse gases by 2050?
The dialogue proposed by the book goes through the current status and future projections on generation, storage and transmission technologies in fields as diverse as hydrogen, ammonium and ocean energies. This, without neglecting more consolidated segments of the energy mix, such as photovoltaic and wind sources, as well as transition areas highly demanded today, such as liquefied natural gas, CO2 capture and storage, the role of the consumer / electric generation in distributed systems, the water needs of the sector, as well as digital inclusion and optimization are also tasks, in which our authors delve into. The complex path towards 2050 and the solid geopolitical changes of today make this work a necessary reference for the reflection of public policymakers and civil society in general.
