Congratulations to everyone featured in our first standalone GC Powerlist Ecuador since 2023 – a return that is long overdue. Alongside Dentons Paz Horowitz, we are excited to once again shine a spotlight on the exceptional in-house legal talent in Ecuador, one of the most dynamic markets in the whole of Latin America, through this dedicated publication.
A sincere thank you to everyone who took the time to speak with us for this project. These conversations are what bring the Powerlist to life, allowing us to share insights from leading general counsel with a global audience and contribute to the broader development of the in-house legal community.
Through the GC Powerlist initiative, we aim to foster connections between general counsel, enabling them to exchange knowledge, learn from one another, and support each other’s professional growth – something we know is vital in today’s evolving legal landscape.
Legal 500 was pleased to return to New York City to launch the GC Powerlist: New York 2026. Held in partnership with DLA Piper, the event brought together leading in-house lawyers from across the state.
Francisco Cerezo, Chair of the US–Latin America Practice at DLA Piper, and LaTanya Langley, Global Chief People Officer, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary at Edgewell Personal Care, delivered the opening remarks.
Legal 500 thanks DLA Piper for supporting the recognition of New York’s general counsel community and congratulates all those included in the Powerlist.
