A Chilean is Appointed as the New Vice Chair of the ABA International Section
August, 2020 - Santiago, Chile
Last week, Marcos Ríos, partner of Carey, was appointed Vice Chair of the American Bar Association (ABA) International Law Section FY 2020-21, a position that will lead him to become Section Chair-Elect (2021-22), and Section Chair (2022-23). Marcos will be the second non-US citizen to be Chair of an ABA entity since the ABA’s establishment in 1878. The International Law Section has over 11,000 members and the ABA over 400,000.
“In addition to being excellent news—both personally and for Carey—this appointment carries significant responsibility and challenges, which I assume with much enthusiasm. This would not have been possible without the support of all those who comprise our great firm—I am deeply grateful to all.”
