Which recent political, economic or regulatory changes have impacted the company and the team the most?
As Bice Fideicomisos is a state-owned company, main management positions are very susceptible to exchanges, along with political changes, and although middle management and technical hierarchy have not changed, these key position changes have an impact on distinct aspects, such as reporting and procedures, which must be updated and adapted to each change.
Additionally, the economic effects of the pandemic and the current global macroeconomic circumstances have impacted the different programs for financing production, mainly in the small and medium-sized industries, requiring a fast implementation of innovative programs and measures in accordance with the current circumstances.
If you had to give advice to an aspiring in-house lawyer or general counsel, what would it be and why?
The main advice for a lawyer who aspires to work as in-house counsel is to be prepared to work in a very dynamic and changing environment, which poses different challenges every day, and requires both technical solvency and soft skills to face them successfully.
