About

Having been in the profession for 25 years, Jose Camino has used previous experiences to play a pivotal role in the restructuring of the legal department at Metalor Technologies. A conscientious leader, he says the most rewarding part of his job is ‘with the help and support of my team, the ability to design and implement solutions to the business that help them to achieve their goals’. It is clear that he sets concise and meticulous targets with every desire to succeed and revolutionise the legal department. Some of these changes include an emphasis on communication and training, implementation of contract review, claims, litigation and engagement of outside counsel policies. To ensure top quality legal service, Jose has defined key performance indicators for the team that are tracked monthly in terms of response time and service quality. When asked about the highlight of his in-house career to date he spoke about his work completed in a former position as vice-president, corporate & legal in Alcoa Europe, ‘I would say that the negotiation of a framework agreement with the Spanish Government and the three main Spanish utility companies for the supply of power to the Alcoa smelters in Spain (representing 3% of the power consumption of the country)’.
