Anna Klein will have the privilege of participating in the 69th Congress of the International Association of Lawyers (UIA), which will be held in Guadalajara, Mexico, from October 29 to November 2, 2025.
This event will bring together lawyers from around the world to discuss a wide range of current legal issues in various areas of law.
During this event, Anna Klein will have the honor of being a panelist on two occasions.
On Thursday morning, October 30, she will first speak in the panel jointly organized by the “Intellectual Property” commission and the “Fashion Law” commission.
The theme of this panel is: “Tradition Meets Innovation: IP Tools for Safeguarding Heritage and Excellence, with a Special Focus on the Fashion Industry”
Summary of the issues addressed:
“This session delves into the diverse intellectual property tools designed to safeguard traditional excellence and cultural heritage, with a special focus on the fashion industry and artisanal craftmanship.
Topics include the new EU Regulation on Geographical indications for craft products, certification marks, “Made In” designation as an indicator of quality and origin and other IP frameworks that protect authenticity and provenance.
The discussion will also address the increasingly relevant issue of cultural appropriation, exploring how IP law can balance innovation with respect for traditional knowledge and heritage. Participants will gain practical insights into navigating the interplay between tradition and innovation, ensuring that both creative industries and cultural identities are respected and preserved.”
Secondly, on the afternoon of Thursday, October 30, 2025, she will speak in the panel jointly organized by the “Information Technology Law”, “Litigation” and “Privacy and Rights of the Digital Person” commissions.
This panel will cover the following topic: “Data Without Borders: A Comparative Look at Cross-Border Data Transfer Laws and Their Impacts on Litigation”
Summary of the issues addressed:
“The EU, the United States, and other jurisdictions have adopted laws regulating the export of personal data, the disclosure of personal data, and consumers and employees’ access to personal data. This session will explore how various jurisdictions approach cross-border data transfers and data access rights, how they impact litigation, and what litigators and data protection lawyers can do to address the challenges and opportunities that these data protection laws present.
The first of the two panels will discuss the similarities and differences among the EU, US, and other jurisdiction on regulating the flow of personal data across borders and will provide practical advice such as the best mix of safeguards (whether standard contractual clauses, binding corporate rules, codes of conduct, or certification mechanisms) to ensure that cross-border data transfers comply with applicable law.
The second panel will examine how these cross-border data transfer restrictions, other data protection requirements and general documentation restrictions are impacting access to information in litigation. For example, restrictions on cross-border data transfers and on disclosing personal data to opposing parties can make it more difficult to obtain needed discovery in litigation.”
Lastly, this event will provide an opportunity to network with legal professionals from around the world and to forge valuable partnerships. Such international connections are essential in the context of an international practice. They not only allow for the sharing of diverse legal experiences and perspectives, but also strengthen understanding of the cultural and regulatory differences that influence the practice of law globally. These exchanges contribute to enriching thinking, improving the quality of advice, and opening up new opportunities for cross-border collaboration.
