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.
On Wednesday 25th February, in partnership with ENS, Legal 500 launched the GC Powerlist: Ghana 2026. Attendees gathered at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast for an evening of celebration, marking the recognition of another outstanding cohort of senior in-house counsel.
Legal 500’s GC Powerlist initiative celebrates the impact that in-house counsel have, within their organisations and beyond, and the role that they play in driving growth and innovation across the legal and business landscape. The series offers a platform for in-house lawyers to connect and share their knowledge and experience.
MC Otu welcomed guests before the evening’s programme began with a video introduction from Isabel Caine, Event content editor at Legal 500. Patricia Jane Mumuni, Executive at ENS, then took to the stage to congratulate the successful Powerlisters on behalf of the firm. Caliis Nii Oman Baddoo, Head of legal at the Securities and Exchange Commission, delivered the keynote speech.
Attendees were then presented with their certificates and had their official photographs taken, before networking resumed over drinks and canapés.
Legal 500 would like to congratulate everyone included in the GC Powerlist: Ghana 2026 and is honoured to celebrate such an impressive group of in-house lawyers, alongside ENS.
