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
On Tuesday, Legal 500 had the pleasure of welcoming this year’s cohort to the GC Powerlist Spain 2026 launch event in Madrid: an evening celebrating the country’s in-house excellence shaping the legal landscape of today and tomorrow.
The evening, hosted in partnership with DLA Piper, brought together at Club Matador some of the most renowned names in the Spanish in-house legal market. This year’s reception welcomed senior in-house professionals from across industries, representing some of the most prominent companies in the country.
Carmen Godoy, lead editor of this edition of the GC Powerlist: Spain at The Legal 500, opened the evening by addressing more than 100 corporate legal professionals in attendance. In her remarks, Godoy highlighted how the research revealed Spain’s in-house legal community to be increasingly strategic and forward-looking. General counsel are evolving into key business partners, embracing innovation with pragmatism while providing resilience and stability in uncertain environments. With a strong focus on governance, compliance, sustainability, and leadership, these findings reflect a community that is strategic, innovative, and deeply human.
Following Godoy, Francisco Cerezo and César Herrero, managing partners of DLA Piper and hosts of the evening, addressed the audience, highlighting the importance of promoting spaces for exchange and recognition within the in-house legal community shaping modern business.
After their remarks, Carmen Godoy and David Freeman, on behalf of The Legal 500, proceeded with the certificate ceremony, during which each Powerlister was invited to the stage to collect their certificate.
This year’s GC Powerlist event in Madrid served as an excellent opportunity for awardees to connect and exchange reflections with their professional peers and the Legal 500 team.
On behalf of the entire team at The Legal 500, we extend our warmest congratulations to all those included in this edition of the GC Powerlist: Spain. You stand as an example of the talent, leadership, and vision driving the evolution of the general counsel role in the country.
We would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to DLA Piper, our sponsor, for joining us in recognising the exceptional talent driving progress across Spain’s legal profession. And, of course, to each of the honourees who shared their time and insights with us. It has been a privilege to share your stories and celebrate the enduring impact you make every day.
