About

Consisting of bright up-and-coming lawyers Mónica Muñoz Herrera and Melania Quesada, DHL Express’ legal team in Central America and the Dominican Republic supervises judicial and administrative cases carried out by external counsel and is in charge of reviewing contracts with clients and suppliers. Besides seamlessly handling all operational legal issues encountered by the company in the region, the team stands out with its commercial understanding and foresight and is frequently relied upon to provide consultations on matters carried out by different departments in the company on issues ranging from human resources to business strategy. ‘We face challenges every day, as the business needs in legal matters are increasingly complex, impelling us to go beyond standard service because we must walk hand-in-hand with the business trying to give them the best advice possible’, Muñoz says. ‘In addition, in our case we are responsible for addressing specific issues in each of the seven countries of the region we serve which motivates us to seek creative solutions to problems each day and that result in the lowest cost to the company’, she adds.
