What does it take to run the legal team in one of the most profitable deal shops in the world? After months of discussions with private equity and leveraged finance partners at the leading law firms in London as well as a host of in-house lawyers, Legal Business has come up with the definitive list of the top London-based private equity GCs, with 24 making the grade.
Legal 500 returned to Miami to celebrate the launch of the GC Powerlist: Miami 2026, hosted in partnership with Winston & Strawn. The event brought together leading in-house counsel from across the city for an evening recognising their work, leadership, and clear impact within their organisations.
Juan Azel, Chair of Winston & Strawn’s Fintech, Banking and Payments practice, opened the evening with remarks on the opportunities emerging from Miami’s economic growth.
He was followed by keynote speaker Nilo J. Barredo, Head of Legal, Wealth, Banking & Lending for the Americas and Director, Associate General Counsel at Citigroup, who shared perspectives on the evolution of Miami’s in-house ecosystem.
A reception followed, giving this year’s honourees the chance to connect with peers and exchange experiences.
Legal 500 extends its thanks to Winston & Strawn for supporting the recognition of Miami’s outstanding general counsel community, and congratulates all recognised general counsel on their achievements.
