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
Last week, Legal 500 had the absolute pleasure of celebrating the launch of the GC Powerlist Canada 2026. With the skylines of Toronto and Vancouver as our incredible backdrop, we gathered at DLA Piper’s offices in both cities with some of the most prestigious names in the country’s in-house legal community.
Behind those names, titles and recognitions are exceptional professionals who, over the past year, have demonstrated remarkable resilience, a commitment to innovation, and an impeccable understanding of what it means to be a good leader in a profession that is under constant pressure and change.
During the evening, Carmen Godoy, lead editor of this year’s GC Powerlist Canada, welcomed attendees and shared the findings of this year’s research. Throughout the past year, key themes emerged, including resilience in the face of uncertainty, the responsible integration of AI into the legal function, and the growing strategic role of the general counsel within the business.
What stood out most during the research was how the legal leaders recognised in this year’s Powerlist understand that the lasting impact of their achievements must be grounded in a leadership style that always puts people first.
During our events, Russel Drew, Partner and CEO at DLA Piper Canada in Toronto, and Brian Hiebert, Partner at DLA Piper Canada in Vancouver, also shared words of encouragement and gratitude, recognising the important and valuable contributions that our powerlisters make to their organisations and to the broader legal profession.
We would like to thank DLA Piper for its support in fostering these opportunities to bring together the in-house legal community around the world.
And to our powerlisters, congratulations on a truly well-deserved recognition. It was a great pleasure to host you and learn more about your experiences and achievements. Thank you for being part of our GC community, and we hope to see you again soon.
Carmen Godoy Martin – Lead editor GC Powerlist Canada 2026.
