Vicente Egas
Legal manager | Philip Morris International
How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?
During times of instability or crisis, I remain sharp and confident while navigating uncertainty. As lawyers, we are responsible for providing a clear path to the organisation that is both business-oriented and in compliance with local regulations. We must speak with one voice, ensuring the team is aligned with our position to provide the confidence the business needs during periods of instability or crisis.
What do you think sets you apart from other in-house counsel?
What distinguishes me from other in-house counsel is my deep business knowledge and commitment to providing strategic, business-oriented legal assessments. As guardians of the law, we ensure compliance while proactively seeking legal solutions that align with the legal framework, corporate policies, and business objectives. We refuse to give an easy answer such as “no” to our internal clients and always push to find innovative solutions that drive success within the legal framework.
