It is with great pride that we present the Green Powerlist 2025 – Mexico, a special edition dedicated to recognising the in-house legal professionals who are driving meaningful change at the intersection of law, business, and sustainability.
This year’s honorees represent a new era of legal leadership—one that does not simply react to regulatory shifts but actively shapes them. As the global focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues intensifies, in-house counsel in Mexico are stepping into more strategic roles. They are navigating complex legal landscapes, embedding sustainability into corporate governance, and helping companies balance profitability with purpose.
From renewable energy expansion and green finance to circular economy initiatives and climate risk disclosure, the achievements of this year’s Powerlist members are as diverse as they are impactful. What unites them is a shared vision: that responsible business is not just good ethics, but good strategy.
This publication celebrates those visionaries—the general counsel, legal directors, and corporate legal teams—whose work is helping to future-proof their organizations and contribute to a more sustainable Mexico. Their leadership not only protects value; it creates it.
We congratulate all those recognised in this edition and thank them for inspiring the next generation of legal professionals to lead with conscience, creativity, and conviction.
Sincerely,
Margherita Birri, Research editor
Green Powerlist 2025 – Mexico
The Legal 500 hosted the second edition of the GC Powerlist Luxembourg, celebrating the exceptional achievements of the country’s leading in-house legal professionals. Held in partnership with Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg, we were delighted to welcome over 80 of Luxembourg’s foremost legal professionals, marking a significant moment for an in-house legal community that has precious few chances to interact and share best practice with each other.
This year’s list was drawn from a record longlist of over 400 highly talented individuals, ultimately honouring a select group of standout GCs, CLOs, and senior legal figures whose contributions to their companies and industries set them apart on the global stage. Both returning honourees and new faces were in attendance, now united as part of the global GC Powerlist community.
Managing Partner of our event sponsors Loyens & Loeff Luxembourg Frédéric Franckx delivered a rousing address to those in attendance, congratulating them on their achievement and encouraging this year’s inductees to make the most of the opportunity to forge new connections. Guests were then invited to collect their award certificates and take official photographs to commemorate their achievement. As the formalities concluded, the evening transitioned into the lively networking celebration that is the hallmark of Legal 500’s GC Powerlist launches, and celebrations lasted long into the night.
