Overview (Program Summary)
The United States, Mexico, Canada Agreement (USMCA) has played a pivotal role in expediting the transition of numerous companies towards expanding their operations in Mexico. This shift is attributed to several factors, including Mexico's close geographical proximity to the United States, emerging geopolitical concerns in Asia, heightened awareness of supply chain vulnerabilities exposed during the pandemic, and the presence of a proficient labor force in Mexico with a proven track record in hosting manufacturing activities. This confluence of circumstances has spurred a noticeable trend among companies from the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and Latin America toward establishing or expanding their production facilities in Mexico. CCN attorneys Robert M. Barnett and Raymundo Vazquez will provide an overview of the key issues legal counsel should understand when guiding their companies through the process of establishing manufacturing and production operations in Mexico. Their expertise promises to encompass a wide spectrum of issues, guiding companies through potential challenges, legal nuances, and strategic decisions entailed in such a significant operational shift.
