About

During his seven year tenure as legal director at ThyssenKrupp Industrial Solutions (México) and senior legal counsel for the group’s global legal area, Rodrigo Pérez Elizundia has devised initiatives to optimise the legal department, both in terms of quality and cost, with the results permeating deeper into the business. A highly experienced lawyer, he has impressed peers and clients with his navigation of strategic projects, with the latest one involving the merger and corporate restructure of the group’s companies in Mexico during 2014 and their further integration in 2015. Before assuming his current role in 2008, he had worked as a corporate lawyer at the leading tube supplier Tenaris, while his experience also includes private practice roles in Mexico and Germany. Fluent in German, Pérez Elizundia has been awarded in the past with a Fulbright Scholarship, a program of merit-based grants for international educational exchange, and he is constantly building upon his interest on legal affairs, by attending legal courses and seminars.
