Functioning with upmost integrity, flexibility and efficiency, the Bayer legal team are described by peers as successful leaders with ‘high aspirations, great courage and resilience’. Head of legal patents and compliance, Alejandra Castro adds that the reason for their success is that, ‘we all have that potential, the ability to develop, stretch ourselves, expand our abilities and adopt a new way of thinking’. Comprised of six lawyers and one assistant, the department’s outstanding lawyers include compliance manager Juan Ignacio Zamora and data privacy manager Catalina Morales who stand out for their contribution to the team. Castro believes that in order to have the right mind set the in-house legal team needs to put themselves in the shoes of the business and its customers by ‘actively listening and engaging, taking time to build relationships, sharing openly, taking responsibility, using common sense and integrity, speaking out and applying excellent judgment’. The team continue to use these behaviours as the focus of their team ethos, making them the building blocks of their self-development and the foundation of their success. The team has also fully aligned to the business in order to provide the best possible advice by developing business strategies from a legal point of view to enhance business priorities. As testament to this, the team has been tasked with handling regional matters relating to Bayer’s proposed $66bn global merger with Monsanto which was announced in 2016 and involves the sale of the company’s Liberty crop protection brands. Both companies are optimistic about obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals and it is to this end that Bayer’s legal team in Central America have contributed significantly to the business.
