About

Mónica Muñoz, DHL Express’ regional legal counsel for Central America & Dominican Republic, supports the business operations with the support of one paralegal and closely chosen external firms. With her 11 years of experience as an in-house lawyer, Muñoz has been able to take the challenges of her current role in her stride. Her first role as a legal professional was as an in-house legal counsel for airport management services company Aeris Holding Costa Rica, where she worked from 2005-2013. From her entry-level position as paralegal, originally for Alterra Partners Costa Rica, the eight year experience saw her assume much responsibility, especially following the merger of Alterra Partners Costa Rica and Aeris Holding Costa Rica. Muñoz assumed responsibility for all of the company’s legal issues at the time, including contracts, legal processes, and legal advice to key departments. Though appreciative of all the work she accomplished for Alterra Partners and, subsequently, Aeris Holdings, Muñoz believes her greatest achievement was accomplished at DHL Express Costa Rica. She is proud of her coordination of multiple law firms on an especially complex transaction, which eventually led to a successfully negotiated outcome, and no costs to DHL Express Costa Rica.
