Thursday, November 13, 2025
10:30 AM PST/11:30 AM MST/12:30 PM CST/1:30 PM EST
In the past few months, new federal administrations in both the United States and Mexico have pursued their energy policy goals by promoting structural legal changes. In this webinar, Anthony "Tony" Marino from Gordon Arata will explore key aspects of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that are reorienting government priorities to strengthen the domestic production and consumption of coal, oil, and natural gas. Also, José María Lujambio Irazábal from Cacheaux Cavazos & Newton will also explain how Mexico’s energy sector was reshaped by constitutional amendments and a package of new legislation so that government planning and regulation can prioritize the State-owned public companies Pemex and CFE in their respective markets.
