Senior in-house counsel from Vale, Uber, Samsung, Acciona and adidas alongside regional legal departments from BHP and Diageo were all winners at the 6th LACCA Awards Ceremony, held last Thursday evening in Miami.
GCs from major companies across Latin America and the US gathered in Miami last week for LACCA’s 11th regional meeting to discuss some of the biggest issues currently affecting legal teams, including disruptive technologies, crisis management, regulatory hurdles, employee privacy matters and the challenges GCs contend with in today’s markets.
For many in-house lawyers, there comes a time when they must step up to the new challenge of leading a legal team to success. LACCA speaks to those who have made this transition to a leadership role to find out why learning on the job is the best training and how lawyers can best prepare for the hurdles legal managers often face within their team.
Felipe Olivares Mercado tells LACCA about how he helped set up Acciona’s activities in Chile and his love for seeing legal projects through to the end.
