About

‘Awareness and understanding of [the] regulatory framework and risks that our operations face is one of the most important objectives of my department. Since I assumed the responsibility to lead it there were several changes inside the company in the process, reports, communications, and security of our principal asset: Information. This not only helped to reduce potential errors and omissions, it also helps to our first line of commercial colleagues to include the internal legal and compliance support of the company as one added value of our organization making our value proposition to clients even stronger’, states Benito Pedemonte García, general counsel – vice president of Marsh Rehder in Peru. Starting his legal career in private practice attending to IP and competition law matters, Pedemonte has since developed a strong in-house career that has seen him serve the Peruvian competition agency (INDECOPI) as part of its legal staff and the Marsh Peru business since 2008. He started leading the compliance department in Peru from 2012 and has facilitated the creation of the legal, compliance and public affairs department in Peru since then. With a career that features a number of highlights, Pedemonte’s expert knowledge of the Marsh business complements the ‘wide scope’ of legal nous he has accrued along with the communication skills he has developed. Pedemonte is both a qualified lawyer and possesses an MBA with a change management certification by McCombs School of Business of the University of Texas.
