About

Gonzalo Garcia Lussardi is described by one nominator as ‘without a doubt one of the most experienced and respected LatAm counsel working in the US today. His knowledge of the region from both a legal and commercial standpoint means he can add an enormous amount of value to a matter and spot things that escape others at the discussion table.’ As vice president and general counsel for Latin America and Caribbean at Johnson Controls, he oversees 90 subsidiaries in 21 countries and territories across six business lines and manages a team of US and regional legal counsel. He was previously Latin America counsel for Tyco before its 2016 merger with Johnson Controls, supervising a team of 14 in-house lawyers and 50 law firms across region. He began working at Tyco in 2007 as Buenos Aires, Argentina based regional counsel responsible for legal matters in Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia and Paraguay and has also worked in-house at Telecom Argentina and in private practice at the law firm Correo Argentino.
