EVENT SPOTLIGHT
ISO 9000 - What Does It Mean for Law Firms, Accounting Firms and Their Clients? (Wednesday, May 11)
Law and accounting firms around the world are becoming more aware of the business and legal implications of ISO 9001 certification and many are evaluating whether such certification is a business advantage or even a necessity for themselves. Several TIAG and TAGLaw firms are currently ISO 9001-certified. In this session, Nigel Croft will describe what the ISO 9000 series of standards is all about, what ISO 9001 requires and why the time is right for law and accounting firms to consider the increased efficiency and competitive edge that results from the implementation of an ISO 9000-based quality management system. He will also discuss the implications for law and accounting firms when dealing with clients who are certified to ISO 9001.

4. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
Uruguay: Development of Plant for Re-Gasification of Liquid Natural Gas
The State-owned energy companies of Argentina and Uruguay -- Energía Argentina S.A. (“ENARSA” - Argentina), Administración de Combustibles, Alcohol y Portland (“ANCAP” - Uruguay) and Administración de Usinas Eléctricas del Estado (“UTE” - Uruguay), are trying to identify energy companies interested in developing a re-gasification plant of liquefied natural gas ("gas natural licuado" or “GNL”) in Uruguay. The plant would be a floating one, located 8 miles of the Uruguayan coast. The project is scheduled to inject around 15 million cubical meters of natural gas between the two countries (Uruguay and Argentina) over the first fifteen years. Total investment is estimated in the figure of US$ 400 million.
Under the timetable proposed by the State-owned energy companies conducting the process, it is expected to call for an international public bid (to award the project) during the second semester of 2011, once the expressions of interest have been submitted. It is contemplated that the plant would become operative in the course of 2013.
Interested companies are required to express their interest by submitting their background credentials, no later than April 11, 2011 to Jonas Bergstein of Estudio Bergstein (Uruguay - TAGLaw) at jbergstein@bergsteinlaw.com.
