On behalf of The Legal 500, I am very pleased to present the inaugural GC Powerlist: Morocco 2025.
This edition celebrates general counsel and in-house lawyers who have demonstrated exceptional leadership in Morocco’s legal community. Through our research, we’ve had the privilege of engaging with leading legal professionals and uncovering their innovative strategies, leadership, and commitment to excellence.
As the legal landscape evolves, Morocco’s general counsel are redefining their roles. No longer confined to traditional legal tasks, they are integral to shaping corporate strategies, fostering resilience, and navigating challenges such as economic volatility, technological advancements, and regulatory changes.
The GC Powerlist: Morocco 2025 honours those who drive business success while upholding high standards of ethics and integrity. These leaders are setting new benchmarks in governance, diversity, digital transformation, and risk management.
Soukaïna Chefchaouni Moussaoui, Legal Director at Green of Africa, reflects on the fulfilment she finds in working within a sector that aligns with her values:
‘I am fortunate to work in a sector aligned with my values and on projects that make real sense. Working in a company that produces electricity and drinking water is very nourishing. The people I work with are driven by the same desire to see these projects come to life.’
This shared purpose within her team mirrors the broader approach of legal leaders in Morocco, where strategic collaboration and proactive risk management are key to success. As Othman Azzouzi, Head of Legal Francophone and Southern Africa at Network International, states:
‘The key to a successful collaboration with business partners lies in strategic alignment, proactive risk mitigation, and commercial pragmatism.’
The GC Powerlist: Morocco 2025 is proud to showcase these trailblazers, whose leadership is shaping the future of legal practice in Morocco.
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.
