Increasingly, cultural familiarity and local knowledge is recognised as an invaluable asset. At the same time, a large number of such roles have migrated from Latin American jurisdictions to the US. Overseeing 33 Latin America and the Caribbean markets, each with their own idiosyncrasies, from thousands of miles away can create a somewhat unique set of challenges for Latin America regional counsel. Those featured in the GC Powerlist US: Latin America Specialists have all, in their own way, found ways to deal with geographical remoteness, recurrent political and economic crises, cultural and commercial diversity and a host of other challenges that the role presents.To produce our list of specialists, we canvassed opinions from law firm partners and in-house counsel, both in the US and across Latin America. We sought to identify those corporate counsels that have been instrumental in changing or forming opinions within their company or industry; developing technical solutions to complex issues; creating innovative structures to ensure that the in-house function is driving the business forward; or providing a business working model that other corporate counsel should follow."
