Head of legal | Emerson Electric
Victor Trujillo is described by one source as producing ‘excellent work, having a deep knowledge of intellectual property and being a joy to work with’. After 11 years in his first role with Emerson Electric, Trujillo was promoted to his current position of associate general counsel for Mexico and Central America in 2014, serving as the primary legal advisor to all Emerson businesses in the region. In the role he has already demonstrated expert negotiation skills involving a wide variety of commercial contracts, including distribution and agency agreements, supply contracts, and general commercial terms and conditions. Throughout his career, Trujillo has built a reputation for providing ‘extremely skilled assistance on highly sensitive matters’. He began his career in 1990, spending four years as an associate at law firm Goodrich Riquelme & Asociados and then five years as a partner at Bryan Gonzalez Vargas & Gonzalez Baz. Trujillo then moved in-house in 1999, taking up a Latin America counsel position at J.D. Edwards (now Oracle). He left shortly after J.D. Edwards was bought out by PeopleSoft in 2003, joining his current employers Emerson Electric, a Fortune 500 company that manufactures products and provides engineering services in a range of markets.
