Senior managing legal counsel delivering contract strategy, compliance, and privacy/GDPR guidance.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Managing Legal Counsel who supports the business with strategic legal input as part of the Senior Management Team. I manage day-to-day legal activities, draft, review, and negotiate commercial contracts, NDAs, MSAs, and procurement agreements, and continuously improve legal templates for faster, higher-quality execution.
I lead legal risk management by designing policies and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. I also advise on disputes and litigation, coordinate with external law firms for specialized support, and provide comprehensive guidance across privacy, technology, compliance, GDPR, and employment matters.
Before that, I worked as Legal Counsel for Canal de Isabel II, supporting Latin American business operations from the holding company. I managed judicial and administrative proceedings (including arbitration), coordinated with top-level external law firms, and handled public procurement documentation, intercompany loan agreements, and board-related legal documentation.
Earlier roles included corporate and commercial legal advice and international subsidiary coordination, plus M&A and corporate restructuring support. I also strengthened compliance programs through internal controls, regulatory filings, and insurance regulatory documentation, supported by an advanced Compliance Executive Program and strong training in law and compliance.
