What are the most significant cases or transactions that your legal team has recently been involved in?

The two most significant transactions I have executed as legal head have concerned the completion of the due diligence process of our Series A round of investment with Owl Ventures III, for approximately $7 m. Followed by another due diligence process, aimed at raising capital of our Series B investment round with Riverwood Capital Latam, for $25 m.

These investments series have allowed my company to expand throughout Latin America and start operations in new countries.

How much influence do you, as a general counsel, have on the diversity and inclusion policies of your organisation?

Being the legal head, I am in charge of leading all the strategies of the different corporations that are part of our economic group to guarantee their development and the possibility of continuing to raise investment capital.

I lead the compliance strategy in Colombia and in all the Latin American countries where we have operations to provide services in the different countries of the region and comply with their various internal regulations.

What legal and management trends do you see having an impact in your market?

Structured compliance processes that allow companies’ development are the best legal and management trend.

It is crucial to build a protection system and internal regulation process that would enable the company to protect against any adverse contingency. For this reason, the ability to adapt to changes in the market and complementing them with the specific regulations of the different jurisdictions, is the challenge of a dynamic but efficient legal area.
