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.
The GC Powerlist Peru 2025 brought Lima’s legal elite together in the elegant setting of the Belmond Miraflores Park, in a night that buzzed with connection, insight, and recognition. Sponsored by leading Peruvian law firm Estudio Muñiz, the evening shone a spotlight on the most innovative and influential general counsel in the region.
Silvana Rosso, Directora Legal y de Asuntos Públicos at Nestlé Perú y Bolivia, delivered a heartfelt and forward-thinking address. Reflecting on her journey and the evolving role of legal professionals, she said:
“Being part of the GC Powerlist is an honour—but also a responsibility. As legal leaders, we have the power to shape not just policy, but culture. Equity, diversity, and inclusion must be more than aspirations; they should be embedded in how we lead, hire, and serve our communities. Our work doesn’t stop at risk management—it starts with creating spaces where everyone belongs.”
Her words struck a powerful chord, earning nods from peers across industries.
Mauricio Olaya, Socio Principal at Estudio Muñiz, underscored the firm’s dedication to collaboration and innovation:
“We at Estudio Muñiz are proud to support the GC Powerlist because it reflects the very values we strive for—excellence, partnership, and resilience. In-house counsel are no longer reactive players; they’re strategic architects, building bridges between compliance, reputation, and growth. Tonight, we celebrate that transformation.”
The evening closed with a toast to the awardees, the legal teams behind them, and the ever-evolving legal landscape in Latin America. GC Powerlist Peru 2025 didn’t just honour legal brilliance—it celebrated a community that continues to drive meaningful impact from the boardroom to society at large.
