About

Gabriela Hernández Morgan has worked in Mexico’s banking sector for over 20 years. As one source says, ‘Gaby is a very thorough person and of very high integrity. In my opinion she is one of the best bank corporate lawyers’. Drawing on her experiences, in 2012 she built and devised Grupo Consupago’s legal team and its processes. The team is now comprised of nine legal staff and eight non-legal personnel. To develop the skills of the team and help them better understand their internal clients, Hernández Morgan has significantly reduced the use of outside counsel. The changes have led to the department earning its place in the group’s decision making bodies. Hernández Morgan herself is secretary of the board and all committees. She is also regularly asked for her opinion on legal and non-legal matters by the company’s president, having a close working relationship. The legal team’s early involvement in development and project teams has reduced monetary and time costs when developing new products and processes.
