Legal 500 is thrilled to announce the third edition of the GC Powerlist Miami 2025, recognizing the outstanding senior in-house counsel who continue to lead the way in the legal profession. Each year, we have the privilege of celebrating the impressive achievements of individuals who are driving legal excellence, and this year, as we gather in Miami, we’re reminded of the city’s dynamic role as a global business hub where innovation and opportunity intersect.
As we enter 2025, the strategic priorities guiding in-house teams reflect both evolving challenges and transformative opportunities. As one general counsel shared, “Heading into 2025, our legal team’s priorities are grounded in technology and digital transformation, compliance, business integration, risk mitigation, and talent development. Legal technologies streamline workflows, improve contract management, and enhance data analysis.” Another noted the growing role of AI, stating, “Internally, we will continue to test and adopt the AI tools that empower our legal team to work more effectively and responsibly, as well as enhance our due diligence framework and body of precedents to reflect the evolving implications AI adoption, both by the fund and by our portfolio companies.” Sustainability also continues to shape legal strategies, with many prioritising ESG initiatives, “sustainability and ESG initiatives continue to shape our legal strategy, ensuring that environmental, social, and governance considerations are embedded in business operations.”
Legal 500 is incredibly grateful for the engagement of the in-house community, whose leadership continues to set the bar for excellence in the legal profession. We are honored to showcase these exceptional individuals and their teams, whose work drives lasting impact.
We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to Winston & Strawn for their continued partnership and support, making this celebration possible. We look forward to recognizing the remarkable contributions of Miami’s top in-house counsel and the exciting developments shaping the legal landscape in the city.
The GC Powerlist Peru 2025 brought Lima’s legal elite together in the elegant setting of the Belmond Miraflores Park, in a night that buzzed with connection, insight, and recognition. Sponsored by leading Peruvian law firm Estudio Muñiz, the evening shone a spotlight on the most innovative and influential general counsel in the region.
Silvana Rosso, Directora Legal y de Asuntos Públicos at Nestlé Perú y Bolivia, delivered a heartfelt and forward-thinking address. Reflecting on her journey and the evolving role of legal professionals, she said:
“Being part of the GC Powerlist is an honour—but also a responsibility. As legal leaders, we have the power to shape not just policy, but culture. Equity, diversity, and inclusion must be more than aspirations; they should be embedded in how we lead, hire, and serve our communities. Our work doesn’t stop at risk management—it starts with creating spaces where everyone belongs.”
Her words struck a powerful chord, earning nods from peers across industries.
Mauricio Olaya, Socio Principal at Estudio Muñiz, underscored the firm’s dedication to collaboration and innovation:
“We at Estudio Muñiz are proud to support the GC Powerlist because it reflects the very values we strive for—excellence, partnership, and resilience. In-house counsel are no longer reactive players; they’re strategic architects, building bridges between compliance, reputation, and growth. Tonight, we celebrate that transformation.”
The evening closed with a toast to the awardees, the legal teams behind them, and the ever-evolving legal landscape in Latin America. GC Powerlist Peru 2025 didn’t just honour legal brilliance—it celebrated a community that continues to drive meaningful impact from the boardroom to society at large.
