Argentina is a country of contradictions; despite having a position as a leading economy in Latin America, abundant natural resources and a highly diversified and educated workforce, it is historically susceptible to volatility and economic shocks. A number of government policies have recently been implemented to combat Argentina’s economic issues, including those related to reducing public debt, encouraging more foreign investment and dealing with an ongoing currency crisis.
In addition to this government action, business strategies developed within Argentina’s companies – or within multinational organisations that have operations in Argentina – have been formulated and implemented too. Key to the success of these initiatives are the country’s in-house lawyers, who serve their corporate stakeholders by providing legal counsel on the most important issues of the day, and are constantly challenged to come up with responses that are realistic, practical and aligned with the demands of local and global markets.
Demonstrating capabilities across a number of different legal fields, as well as advising a wide range of companies in terms of both size and business sectors, the group of lawyers identified within these pages are amongst the global elite when it comes to navigating turbulent legal and business waters, consistently providing successful outcomes.
In this year’s GC Powerlist: Argentina we are pleased to highlight some of the country’s leading in-house lawyers. To compile this list, we canvassed opinions from both law firm partners and in-house counsel in Argentina and other jurisdictions. We identified the most impressive counsel who have utilised their legal knowledge strategically alongside business insight to make a positive impact towards their organisation’s success.
