About

Chilean company Molymet processes and develops molybdenum, a vital chemical element in various industrial activities. International in scope, the company operates six plants in total with two in Chile and one in Mexico, Belgium, Germany and China respectively; to support this there are commercial offices in Santiago, London, Hermosillo, Miami, São Paulo and Beijing. Handling the legal affairs Molymet is Miguel Dunay, who joined as corporate legal manager in 2015. Since then he has shifted his department’s approach ‘from a structure aimed to provide basic in-house legal services, to managing all corporate legal issues’. Despite implementing this new mind-set, Dunay is conscious this is an ongoing process and works closely with the vice president of corporate governance, whom he directly reports into, as well as the CEO and all the company’s other vice-presidents in order to maintain high-quality and business-focused standards within the legal team. Before Dunay joined Molymet, between 2007 and 2015 he worked at the prestigious Chilean law firm Claro & Cia in its corporate group as counsel in charge of the public-private partnership field, construction and real estate. Between 2002 and 2006, Dunay worked in the legal department for a group of companies owned by the German-Chilean entrepreneur, Jürgen Paulmann. During this period of his career he gained extensive experience in the airline, retail and real estate sectors.
