About

Juan Carlos Rojas has been with Dole since 1994 as legal and external affairs director and general counsel of its subsidiary Standard Fruit Co. He is a vastly experienced corporate lawyer with expertise in complex transactions including M&A, commercial contracts, real estate, international and multijurisdictional litigation and all other legal and compliance matters. He also manages the government and external relations for Dole and its compliance polices such as FCPA, the UK Bribery Act, GDPR and anti-trust regulation. Rojas also represents the company in multiple trade associations and chambers. In Costa Rica, Dole primarily produces pineapples and other fruits, often sourced from independent farms, but also has a vegetable production business. Its products are shipped all over North America and Europe, its primary markets, but the company has a global footprint, requiring Rojas’ multitalented, astute counsel.
