About

A highly skilled lawyer, Pedro Filipe Santos joined Aon Portugal, in 2004, with the task of establishing an in-house legal department. To grow his understanding of the company, he spent some time in the Aon offices in Spain, ultimately allowing him to create a similar structure for Portugal. ‘Over the years I have been adding my personal touch to the legal department of Aon Portugal’ Filipe Santos comments. Almost a decade after its inception, the legal department has acquired a prominent place within the business and it is now represented on the executive committee of the company, which is a recognition of the legal team’s outstanding work. ‘My greatest achievement was to have the legal function represented in in the executive committee of the company; in that committee the most important management issues for the future of the company are discussed’.
