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 officially launched the Dominican Republic 2026 GC Powerlist on September 8, 2026, with an exclusive reception held at the JW Marriott Santo Domingo, in partnership with Pellerano & Herrera.
The event brought together many of the Dominican Republic’s leading general counsel, senior in-house lawyers and members of the wider legal community to celebrate the individuals recognised in this year’s GC Powerlist. The evening provided an opportunity to acknowledge the achievements and growing influence of in-house legal teams across the country, while also bringing together peers from across a diverse range of industries.
Against the elegant setting of the JW Marriott Santo Domingo, guests were able to connect, exchange perspectives and celebrate the contribution that general counsel and their teams continue to make to their organisations and to the Dominican Republic’s business environment. The reception also provided a valuable platform for strengthening relationships between the in-house and private practice communities.
