The internal legal department at Grupo Arcor is a full-service function who are able to deal with almost all legal issues the company faces, with external advice being sought only at specific times in jurisdictions away from Buenos Aires or Córdoba.

Having to show an awareness of potential commercial risks and legal requirements in every continent while appreciating the commercial dynamics of a large, global business, Gottlieb has accrued significant experience at Arcor having been at the company since 2003.
