Why Conferences Are Key to Growing Your Legal Network

In the legal profession, a strong network is critical for growth and collaboration. Conferences create the right setting to meet peers, exchange knowledge, and build trust. ABL organizes two conferences each year to give members these opportunities on an international scale. Benefits of Attending Expertise in One Place: Conferences bring together specialists from different legal fields, giving access to insights and best practices. New and Stronger Connections: They are an effective way to meet potential clients, referral partners, and strengthen relationships with existing contacts. Learning and Development: Workshops and panels keep you informed on legal updates and market trends. Visibility for Your Firm: Speaking, moderating, or simply engaging actively can raise your profile within the network. Peer Exchange: Direct discussions with colleagues help share solutions and approaches to common challenges. How to Make the Most of It Plan Ahead: Review the agenda and attendee list. Identify who you want to meet and set goals for the event. Participate Actively: Ask questions, share opinions, and join conversations. Visibility builds recognition. Use Digital Channels: Connect on LinkedIn, share updates, and engage with posts related to the conference. Offer Value: Give insights, make introductions, and share resources. It builds trust and makes you memorable. Follow Up: After the event, send personalized messages to reinforce connections and explore next steps. Conferences are more than a few days away from the office; they are a strategic investment in your network and your practice. With preparation and active engagement, you can turn each event into an opportunity to grow.

An update on the US Corporate Transparency Act

Back in 2023, we wrote about of the enactment of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) and the obligation imposed on all entities organized under the laws of the United States and/or foreign entities conducting business in the United States (with certain exceptions such as non-for-profits and public companies, among others) to file the Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report starting in January 2024. Having entered into effect, millions of companies filed the BOI report, disclosing the shareholders with over 25% ownership and individuals with control over the companies’ decision-making process, but after months of different legal battles challenging the validity and enforcement of the CTA and BOI, on March 21, 2025 the Financial Crimes Network (FinCEN), issued an interim final rule that removes the requirement for US companies and US persons to file the BOI report. This FinCEN rule revises the term “reporting company” as those entities that are formed under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and register to conduct business in the United States. Therefore, the long anticipated and short-lived BOI report, will no longer be part of the list of compliance and reporting obligations for US companies. The remaining question is what FinCEN and the Department of the Treasury (i.e. the US Government) will do with the information gathered from the millions of companies and individuals while the BOI was in effect.      Article by Andres Bazo, Foreign Legal Consultant at Rasco Klock Perez & Nieto, P.L.
