Team size: 12

What are the projects that you are most proud of working on over the past 12 months?

I have been involved in the integration of the legal area into various subdivisions that provide the opportunity for professional specialisation and department efficiency.

How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?

We focus on solving problems with the least possible impact on people, providing space for feedback and the generation of corrective measures that must be implemented to avoid repeating errors.

What strategies do you employ to ensure the successful digital transformation of a legal department while maintaining compliance with your country’s data protection laws?

Before implementing any solution, I establish respect for people’s privacy as a priority. We periodically review local data protection regulations and comply with international standards that provide comprehensive guidelines for the proper processing of data. I believe that integrating a multidisciplinary team for the review of technologies is essential to ensure compliance with regulations not only in legal aspects but also in the technical area, which includes, among others, the review of compliance with security measures. We continuously monitor data protection policies and procedures to ensure that they comply with the guidelines established in local regulations and with the reality of the business.

What do you think are the most important attributes for a modern in-house counsel to possess?

Today, a modern in-house counsel must have the ability to constantly adapt to change and adopt new technologies or tools to automate repetitive processes. In addition, it is important to foster a culture in the team to solve problems from different perspectives, in a creative way and to integrate criteria that consider the evaluation of the situation in a comprehensive manner, considering not only legal aspects, but also economic aspects, reputation and the brand of the business. It is no longer enough to apply regulations; it is important to integrate skills that are not easy to automate, which means providing our clients with criteria that involve more complex reasoning and analysis of the situation.
