About

Andrea Campo’s areas of focus are conflict resolution, litigation and consulting. Practising first as an independent lawyer in the area of public and household services and utilities, contract law and public law, then as a professor of contract and public law she moved to become an in-house attorney. She first started as an in-house attorney for PromiGas before moving to CEDELCA and being promoted to her current position as the legal director. Her talent as a negotiator is evident through her successes with CEDELCA. Campo and her legal team, created a regional strategy in response to a litigation against CEDELCA. From this strategy, exclusive exceptions were made in which any regional court has to judge CEDELCA under this particular strategy, and CEDELCA is the only company that receives these exceptions. The team has also created impactful strategies to protect CEDELCA against any claims or lawsuits. The outcome is that with these strategies, several claims and lawsuits were dropped and the suing parties ceased and desisted from trying to sue again. About these victories, Campo says, ‘these highlights of my career have shaped me as a legal professional because I have learned to work under extreme pressure while retaining my focus on daily tasks and my integrity as an individual responsible for my department. Me and my team, have also become an integral part of the overall operation of CEDELCA and how it does business in the region’. Campo identified that the legal department of CEDELCA has changed and is now the most important department in the company, and it has affected how the company structures and manages its business operations. All successful strategies implemented by the legal department under Campo’s stewardship, have given CEDELCA a positive financial impact.
