About

American multinational Emerson Electric has recently undergone a large internal reorganisation process across its Latin American subsidiaries, which included the acquisition and divestiture of several assets. Emerson Electric has substantial operations in Latin America, which fit into its global network of manufacturing products and providing engineering services for a wide range of industrial, commercial, and consumer markets. Nominators singled out the immense contribution of Agustina Allen, the head of legal for Emerson’s Argentine and Chilean businesses, whose involvement in the reorganisation process helped a tricky period come to a successful conclusion. Helping to plan and execute legal strategy in every area of the company, Allen’s efficiency and legal knowledge was built through her qualifications and in a previous role in the boutique Argentinian law firm Basilico, Santurio & Andrada, where she worked as a specialist in IP and corporate law over a six year period.
