Director and legal counsel | American Express
Santiago González Pérez
Director and legal counsel | American Express
LATAM countries your role covers: Mexico
What strategies do you employ to ensure your legal advice is effectively aligned with the unique regulatory environments and cultural nuances of different LATAM countries?
When I am not familiar with local regulations, I always check with local law firms to get confirmation. I also find it useful to stress test solutions that have worked for similar situations in a different country to be able to solve any situation we may find ourselves in.
What specific challenges have you encountered when managing legal issues related to Latin American markets from a European perspective, and how has your team addressed these challenges?
We have not encountered any special challenges. As indicated above, sometimes I use the lessons learnt in the European Union to apply that knowledge when dealing in LATAM.
