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 1 September, Legal 500 unveiled the third edition of the GC Powerlist: East Africa, in partnership with leading African law firm ENS. Hosted at the Sankara Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, the event brought together many of the region’s most accomplished in-house lawyers to celebrate a distinguished community of legal leaders shaping the future of business across East Africa.
The evening opened with welcoming remarks from Giulio Tomassi Galanti, Business Development Manager at Legal 500, who highlighted the importance of recognising the dynamic growth and increasing sophistication of the East African legal market. He also reflected on the rigorous research and selection process behind the GC Powerlist series, congratulating this year’s honourees for their exceptional contributions to both the legal profession and the organisations they serve.
Following this introduction, Mahesh Acharya, Managing Partner of ENS Kenya, addressed the audience to commend the individuals recognised in the 2026 edition.
The launch of the GC Powerlist: East Africa 2026 proved a fitting celebration of the region’s leading in-house legal talent. The evening showcased the depth of expertise, influence, and innovation within East Africa’s corporate counsel community, while reaffirming Legal 500’s commitment to recognising and championing its achievements. We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who contributed to this year’s research process and to ENS for once again partnering with Legal 500 to provide a platform that honours these outstanding legal professionals.
On Thursday, 3 September, Legal 500 will host the second launch event celebrating the GC Powerlist: East Africa 2026 at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, Uganda. Building on the success of the Nairobi launch, the event will bring together many of region’s most accomplished in-house counsel and senior legal leaders to recognise their achievements and celebrate the continued growth and influence of the region’s corporate legal community.
