How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crises, and how does your legal strategy align with the broader business strategy to ensure the organisation’s resilience?

The legal management of a company or institution should not be limited solely to the strict interpretation or application of the law, but must adapt to new environments and paradigms, always seeking flexibility in decision-making. In the case of my institution, it is essential to establish a preventive role in the face of potential political, economic, or social changes. In this context, conciliation plays a fundamental role, as it allows the parties involved to find practical and innovative solutions that can be adapted to such changes. In this process, the institution assumes a decisive role as a reference point for decision-making.

In the field of arbitration, although the structure is more formal, it is also possible to adapt to new contexts to provide the parties with friendly, flexible, and needs-oriented environments.

In any case, the changes we face must always be resolved by seeking the best possible outcomes for the parties, in terms of reliability, adaptability, and resilience. If conceived as opportunities, these changes can become drivers of institutional improvement. To achieve this, it is important to maintain constant monitoring of disputes, ensuring that potential users can access the services provided without significant difficulties. In this sense, the institution must adapt to the needs of the parties, rather than the parties having to adapt to the institution. Here, the legal counsel plays a fundamental role, since many managerial decisions are based on legal considerations. Therefore, legal solutions must be oriented toward practical alternatives that strengthen the institutional policy of addressing societal challenges while ensuring compliance with the law.

Ultimately, legal decisions must support the strategic continuity of the organisation, ensuring the sustainability of business operations and relationships between the parties, with an institutional policy capable of adapting to the challenges that may arise.

What are the main cases or transactions that you have been involved in recently?

Recently, I have been involved in state contracting processes for large-scale projects related to the provision of public services and the exploitation of natural resources, where my role was to ensure transparency, compliance with procedures, and the protection of institutional interests against potential contingencies.

I have also participated in the management and resolution of corporate conflicts, particularly regarding reorganisations, shareholders’ agreements, and compliance with legal obligations, always prioritising preventive solutions and agreements that safeguard business continuity.

Finally, I have been engaged in the resolution of disputes related to property insurance, ensuring compliance with procedural stages and contributing to the strengthening of legal certainty and confidence in dispute resolution mechanisms.

How do you prioritise diversity and inclusion within your legal department, and what initiatives have you implemented to foster a more inclusive and equitable work environment?

I believe that every person within the institution contributes unique skills and knowledge, shaped by their own personality, regardless of gender, age, or academic background.

In my experience, younger professionals bring a fresh perspective influenced by technology and globalisation, while those with greater experience offer balance and insight. Both men and women, through their different life perspectives, enrich analysis and decision-making. Academic training is important, but so too are intelligence, creativity, and perceptiveness.

Within my institution, I value and promote all these qualities, strengthening individual talents and fostering both personal and professional growth. This approach drives innovation, proactivity, and a sense of belonging, while also consolidating a culture of respect and projecting the organisation as a responsible institution committed to inclusion.

What do you see as the major legal challenges for businesses in Bolivia over the next five years, and how are you preparing to address them?

I believe that companies are currently facing significant challenges related to technology, data protection, sector-specific regulation, tax law, and intellectual property, among others. In this context, legal counsel must provide tools that enable organisations to adapt effectively to these changes.

To this end, the implementation of instruments such as artificial intelligence, compliance, legal tech, and, above all, the ability to adapt swiftly to shifting political, regulatory, or situational contexts is essential. In this way, the legal function not only accompanies but also leads processes of innovation and adaptation, ensuring cutting-edge legal advice aligned with the long-term sustainability of institutions.
