Pablo Bauer Novoa
General counsel and company secretary | COMPAÑÍA SUDAMERICANA DE VAPORES (CSAV)
Founded in 1872, CSAV is one of the oldest shipping companies in the world and with annual revenues in excess of $3bn it is one of the largest in Latin America. Pablo Bauer has been with the company for a number of years and since 2014 has worked on the merger between German company Hapag-Lloyd and the container business activities of CSAV. The merger has seen Bauer gain critical acclaim for helping it overcome hurdles in numerous national competition authorities to ensure the deal was finalised. Following a recent surge by US and Mexican national competition authorities on a number of line carriers for alleged cartel offences, CSAV will rely on Bauer to support its response to any matters arising from this.
