The Latin American Lawyer published in the 40th issue of its magazine the article "Judicial Reform: Legal Visions on the Future of Justice in Mexico", in which our partner Juan José Paullada and associate José Arturo Pérez, together with other specialists in the field, analyze the implications of the judicial reform in Mexico.
Our experts explain that judicial reform, by introducing the popular election of judges and magistrates, could generate uncertainty in the short term, especially regarding the stability of judicial criteria and the quality of resolutions in areas such as commercial disputes, where new judges may lack the necessary technical experience. However, they emphasize that tax and administrative courts, which were not affected by the reform, will continue to operate under their current structures, which provides stability in key sectors. In addition, they highlight that the Mexican legal framework contemplates alternative conflict resolution mechanisms, which will offer the parties viable options during the transition, allowing investors to mitigate risks and adapt to the new legal environment.
"A reform of this magnitude creates uncertainty in the judicial system and puts at risk the stability of previous criteria. However, sectors such as the fiscal and administrative sectors remain intact, offering relief within a landscape that will require creativity and adaptation to navigate the legal and economic challenges".
