In early 2021, he wrote the foreword of the book Taxpayers Rights in a Transparent and Global Society, which was globally published by the PRODECON.

Looking to the year ahead, Baker McKenzie commissioned a survey of 600 senior lawyers across the globe and uncovered that corporations expect more disputes this year, driven by economic uncertainty, global trade shifts and altered business models. Disputes around cybersecurity/data and ESG rank as emerging risk areas, while tax and employment disputes remain a constant consideration for organizations. To help stay abreast of emerging challenges and prepare to navigate the changing disputes landscape, join our experts across the globe in a series of webinars as they unpack findings from our latest report, The Year Ahead: Global Disputes Forecast 2023, and uncover a practical, actionable way forward.

In October 2022, the Multilateral Instrument was ratified by the Mexican Senate and could enter into force as soon as February 2023. As of the entry into force of this instrument, the Mexican Double Tax Conventions (DTCs) in effect will be automatically modified, without having to enter into the specific negotiation processes with each one of the signatory states. The instrument is, perhaps, the most impressive result of the BEPS Project, as it permits updating DTCs and allows jurisdictions to incorporate BEPS actions into their current DTCs without the need to resort to bilateral negotiations.
