Legal 500 returned to Miami to celebrate the launch of the GC Powerlist: Miami 2026, hosted in partnership with Winston & Strawn. The event brought together leading in-house counsel from across the city for an evening recognising their work, leadership, and clear impact within their organisations.
Juan Azel, Chair of Winston & Strawn’s Fintech, Banking and Payments practice, opened the evening with remarks on the opportunities emerging from Miami’s economic growth.
He was followed by keynote speaker Nilo J. Barredo, Head of Legal, Wealth, Banking & Lending for the Americas and Director, Associate General Counsel at Citigroup, who shared perspectives on the evolution of Miami’s in-house ecosystem.
A reception followed, giving this year’s honourees the chance to connect with peers and exchange experiences.
