About

Miami-based Rodrigo Medina is responsible for providing legal and compliance support across Latin America for Medtronic, the largest standalone medical technology company in the world and a global leader in the manufacture and sale of device-based medical therapies. Medina has been particularly active in developing and implementing compliance programmes across the region. After joining Medtronic’s offices in Brazil in 2007, Medina was closely involved in implementing its business conduct standards and anticorruption policies. He has since been pivotal in expanding this programme and was recognised by nominators as ‘one of the leading figures in promoting sound corporate governance across Latin America’ and ‘a leading light in a number of areas of legal practice who commands the widespread respect of his peers’. He began his legal career in 2000 as a trainee at the Rio de Janeiro office of leading IP firm Dannemann Siemsen Bigler & Ipanema Moreira and worked in two other firms before moving in-house at the Brazilian offices of German multinational chemical and pharmaceuticals company Bayer.
