As one of the brightest lights on the Southeast Asia business scene, boasting some of the most prominent companies supported by highly qualified and distinguished legal teams, it is an honour to be able to launch this first-ever Malaysia-only edition of the GC Powerlist after so many years of the GC Powerlist being in circulation.
Through the Southeast Asia edition of the GC Powerlist, our research team has become well-acquainted with the hugely talented general counsel, chief legal officers and other high-ranking in-house legal leaders in Malaysia. What was excellent about this standalone Malaysia edition, however, was that we got to delve deeper into the in-house legal community of this wonderful market and speak to people we had not had the pleasure of interviewing before.
The results we, as always, extremely interesting, and gave light to a number of trends. Fintech and the new possibilities that it brings continues to loom large in the minds of many general counsel in Malaysia, but perhaps not quite as large as the spectre of AI. While some were sceptical of its benefits in recent years, many more are now looking towards it with great interest for the potential time-saving it heralds.
Congratulations to all the talented in-house lawyers who made it in to this first Malaysia- edition of the GC Powerlist series. From a long list of over 400 nominees, you are the highly qualified individuals who remain. We look forward to seeing how your careers progress going forward!

The Legal 500
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.
