🗓 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞!

Human Rights Day is observed globally each year on December 10, commemorating the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations in 1948.

As lawyers, human rights issues increasingly intersect with our work, whether through international business, labor and employment matters, corporate compliance, immigration concerns, or humanitarian crises affecting clients and communities.

Throughout the next month, we'll be sharing insights on Human Rights Day and highlighting the work of the International Human Rights Committee (IHRC) of the State Bar of Texas International Law Section.

Join us on December 10 as we mark Human Rights Day with a timely webinar on asylum and refugee law for non-immigration practitioners.

Texas is business-friendly. But is it investor-friendly?

A new article in Global Law Review by James W. Volberding, Attorney, CPA, Receiver, makes the case that it isn’t.

Texas is a major market for real estate, banking, and energy, and its leaders rightly tout it as business-friendly. But Texas lacks effective judicial and enforcement procedures for banks, investors, and creditors to recover their loans and investments, and Texas LLCs have become tools for money laundering.
