For the Director of the Law degree, Mg. Carlos Magna Rodríguez, the instance allowed us to demonstrate and learn about the contract processes, with a view to updating them. “This is an important issue in which for some years there has been a tendency to improve the view of contracts, it is necessary to review and reinterpret the rules, considering their adaptation to our times,” he stated.

The meeting included four presentations by prominent academics from the Fernando Fueyo Foundation, who expressed their knowledge and provided different guidelines for the analysis of those present.
