Virgil Ochoa, an attorney in the Firm’s international trade practice group, participated in the “Careers in International Law” career panel at the South Texas College of Law.
Approximately 30 students in attendance learned how international trade attorneys interact with BIS, U.S. Customs and the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as the type of clients the Firm’s group represents. They also heard how Mr. Ochoa became an international trade lawyer after having previous training to become a transactional lawyer and several years of bankruptcy work.
