GC Powerlist: Mexico Rising Stars 2025

The Mexico Rising Stars 2025 reception, sponsored by Baker McKenzie, gathered some of the country’s most promising up-and-coming legal talents for an evening that recognised achievement, ambition and the evolving future of the profession. Baker McKenzie opened the event by highlighting its commitment to supporting the next generation of legal leaders and reinforcing the importance of creating spaces where emerging talent can be celebrated and encouraged.

During the evening, Claudia Civelle de los Santos Franco, Senior Corporate Counsel at Sizzling Platter de México, offered a few words that resonated warmly with attendees. She reflected on the energy and drive that characterise today’s rising legal professionals, noting how curiosity, resilience and a willingness to engage with change are becoming essential qualities for those stepping into increasingly complex corporate environments. Her message underscored the value of continuous learning and collaboration—principles that will shape the careers of the honourees recognised in this year’s list.

Overall, the event served not only to celebrate the individuals featured in the Mexico Rising Stars 2025 edition, but also to highlight the vibrant and evolving landscape of the country’s legal community. It was an evening marked by optimism, shared ambition and a collective sense of momentum for the generation now stepping confidently into leadership.
