What are the most significant cases, projects, or transactions that you and your legal team have recently been involved in?

This year, we have been actively working with our clients on energy and infrastructure-related projects that are central to the bank’s strategy and relevant to the Mexican market. These transactions support the transition to clean energy and the development of new generation capacity.

How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?

A robust control and oversight framework is fundamental to helping us anticipate and prevent periods of instability. When a crisis does arise, this framework enables us to act swiftly and focus on effective problem-solving. We also rely on expert input, immediately engaging regional colleagues and pre-approved external counsel. This gives us a comprehensive understanding of the issue and enables us to make well-informed decisions on risk mitigation.

What strategies do you employ to ensure the successful digital transformation of a legal department while maintaining compliance with your country’s data protection laws?

We have been monitoring the evolution of AI initiatives, recognising the need for companies to address these developments. New initiatives have helped create a better environment by providing us with tools to protect the data we use on these platforms.
