It is with great pleasure that I introduce the 2025 edition of the GC Powerlist: Peru, a publication that celebrates the outstanding achievements and far-reaching influence of the country’s most impressive in-house legal professionals. It has been a privilege to lead this year’s research and connect with a wide range of legal minds whose dedication, innovation, and resilience continue to shape the Peruvian corporate landscape in remarkable ways.
This edition highlights the legal leaders who have not only demonstrated legal excellence but also displayed extraordinary foresight in navigating today’s evolving challenges — whether regulatory, technological, or strategic. Their stories, insights, and approaches to leadership reflect a profession that is increasingly central to business decision-making and risk management at the highest level.
From sectors such as energy and infrastructure to financial services, telecommunications, and beyond, this year’s featured counsel bring with them a depth of expertise that transcends traditional legal boundaries. They are not merely stewards of legal compliance; they are trusted business partners, strategic thinkers, and guardians of corporate integrity.
What stands out most in this edition is the unshakeable commitment to adaptability and long-term thinking. Whether dealing with regulatory complexity, fast-moving political developments or digital transformation, Peru’s in-house legal professionals are meeting the moment with confidence and clarity. Many have also embraced the role of agents for change, leading the way on key issues such as sustainability, ethical governance, and diversity and inclusion.
You will find in these pages not only recognition of established figures, but also a spotlight on emerging talent — individuals whose drive and fresh perspectives are already leaving their mark on the profession. Their collective voice provides a window into the current and future direction of in-house legal work in Peru, and a testament to its vitality, innovation, and global relevance.
On behalf of The Legal 500, I extend my sincere thanks to all those who took the time to share their experiences with us. It is an honour to present this year’s GC Powerlist: Peru — a showcase of the finest in-house lawyers working in the country today and a celebration of the essential role they play in shaping the future of Peruvian business.

The Legal 500
On 9 June, Legal 500 hosted the launch of the GC Powerlist: Brazil 2026 at the Grand Hyatt in São Paulo, once again in exclusive partnership with Cescon Barrieu – marking the fourth consecutive year of collaboration with our longstanding key partner in the country. This flagship publication celebrates the most accomplished and influential in-house lawyers in Brazil, bringing together leading corporate legal professionals to recognise their outstanding achievements.
The evening opened with remarks from Francisco Castro, Research Editor at Legal 500 and editorial lead behind the publication. He highlighted the exceptional accomplishments of this year’s honourees and shared key insights drawn from the research and submissions process, including the prominence of certain industries, the continued expansion of in-house roles into executive and strategic functions, and the growing diversity, particularly the increasing presence of women in legal leadership positions.
This was followed by remarks from Alexandre Barreto, Managing Partner at Cescon Barrieu, who congratulated the featured general counsel and reflected on the ongoing evolution of Brazil’s legal and business sectors. He underscored the importance of recognising the in-house legal community and noted how the firm continues to adapt to the shifting demands of both clients and the wider business landscape.
With over 100 guests in attendance, including many of Brazil’s leading corporate legal professionals, the event once again demonstrated Legal 500 and Cescon Barrieu’s shared commitment to championing the country’s in-house legal talent.
Legal 500 extends its sincere thanks to Cescon Barrieu for their continued partnership, now in its fourth consecutive year. We are also pleased to announce our return to Brazil later this year with the GC Summit Premier, our new flagship platform for in-house counsel to exchange ideas, strengthen networks, and explore the key legal challenges shaping today’s business environment.
