On 4th August, Legal 500 returned to Bogot\u00e1 for the launch of the GC Powerlist: Colombia 2026, in partnership with Baker McKenzie.<\/p>\n
Guests arrived at Castanyoles Restaurant at the Four Seasons Hotel Casa Medina for an evening of celebration and networking with peers and colleagues.<\/p>\n
Isabel Caine, editor \u2013 corporate counsel at Legal 500, kicked off the evening, touching on the increasingly integral role of the GC as a trusted partner and strategic decision maker within the business. Paying tribute to the nominees\u2019 achievements, dedication and commitment over the past year, she reflected on the vital contributions in-house counsel make within their organisations and beyond.<\/p>\n
Alejandro Mesa, managing partner at Baker McKenzie Colombia, then delivered a welcome address on behalf of the firm, congratulating those included in the Powerlist and recognising the invaluable partnership between in-house and external counsel.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Powerlisters were then invited to collect their certificates and have their official photographs taken. The evening continued with lively discussions and networking as attendees shared insights, ideas and experiences over drinks and canap\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
