New Website of Von Wobeser y Sierra, January 2010.
January, 2010
We are pleased to announce the launching of the new web site of Von Wobeser y Sierra, S.C. We hope it provides useful information for clients and friends and serves as a means of interaction between the members of Von Wobeser y Sierra and our clients.

After months of arduous work, Von Wobeser y Sierra is pleased to announce the launching of our new web page.  We have tried to make this page a source of useful and relevant information that will be of interest to our clients and friends. Regarding the design, we have been able to add attractive features but at the same time keep the page light, with an emphasis on easy navigation.  Thus, for example, the description of the practice areas identifies each of the partners and attorneys with experience in that area, with links to the individual pages of each attorney.  The new section of publications allows the consultation and downloading in PDF of some of the articles published by members of our firm in different publications and collections of works.  We also added a section called "Books", where the complete version of the Legal Guide to Doing Business in Mexico can be consulted and downloaded.
