LNI Mexico 2025 – Connections, Culture and Collaboration
The LNI Fall Conference 2025 brought our members together in vibrant Mexico City for three days of discussion, discovery, and connection. Hosted by Sesma, this year’s event reflected both the energy of Mexico and the collaborative spirit that defines Legal Network International.
A Warm Mexican Welcome
From Thursday’s impromptu lunch that introduced delegates to the heights of modern Mexican cuisine, to Saturday’s unforgettable gala dinner and fiesta, the hospitality from our hosts was exceptional. Every detail — from the venues to the cuisine — captured the warmth and generosity for which Mexico is known.
Insightful Conversations and Global Perspectives
The programme explored major forces shaping our firms and clients:
- ESG – its surprising historical roots and evolving commercial opportunities.
- Tariffs and International Trade – the tension between regulation, sustainability, and competitive advantage.
- Doing Business in Mexico – a fascinating insight into the passion and entrepreneurial drive behind Mexican industry.
The programme was as rich in content as in setting. Friday’s sessions challenged us to look beyond borders – from ESG’s unexpected historical roots and future business opportunities, to the nuanced discussion on tariffs and the balance between regulation and growth. Saturday’s member-led sessions highlighted what makes LNI unique. Saturday showcased the best of LNI: members sharing their developments and innovations in the fields of AI, digitalisation, international sanctions and facilitating the management of family-owned businesses, and demonstrating that we are not only lawyers but innovators and entrepreneurs.
That spirit was celebrated in full during our Saturday night LNI Awards, recognising the energy, creativity, and commitment of our members.
Beck Rechtsanwälte were honoured for their strong presence at the conference and their consistent engagement across LNI activities.
JP Karsenty received recognition as the Best Contributors to Digital Marketing, with a special mention to Thomas Ricard and Pierre Trusson for their monthly IP updates.
Yuki Ichikawa of Sato Ichikawa travelled the furthest to join us — an impressive 11,300 kilometres from Japan!
Daniel Sens of Beck Rechtsanwälte was recognised as the Most Committed Younger Member, and Marius Stanciu and Victor Buju of Buju Stanciu jointly earned the title of Night Owls for keeping the spirit of LNI alive well into the evening.
Carlos Sesma Sr. of Sesma & Sesma was celebrated as an LNI Statesman, in recognition of his ongoing dedication to the network and his role in making the Mexico conference such a success.
Shared Values, Shared Success
Reflecting on the conference, Chairman Marc Gouden commented:
“Each conference reminds us why LNI matters — it’s not just about business opportunities, but about the trust and friendships that make collaboration possible. That’s what turns a network into a community.”
Looking Ahead
We now look forward to our next gathering in Prague, May 2026, hosted by Petráš Rezek. Another city, another opportunity to learn, connect, and celebrate what makes this network so special.
