PPO Indacochea marks five years of the GC Powerlist Bolivia as it concludes its role as host firm

By PPO Indacochea

PPO Indacochea has concluded a five-year tenure as host firm of the GC Powerlist Bolivia, THE LEGAL 500 initiative that recognizes leading in-house lawyers for their leadership, management capabilities and strategic contribution to their organizations.

Together with THE LEGAL 500, PPO Indacochea introduced the GC Powerlist in Bolivia in 2022 and has supported the initiative throughout its five editions in the country. Each edition is the result of an independent research and selection process conducted by THE LEGAL 500, drawing on nominations, interviews and market research to identify the professionals selected for recognition.

Over the course of five editions, the GC Powerlist Bolivia has grown from recognizing fewer than 50 professionals in its inaugural year to approximately 100 in its most recent editions. Beyond that growth, the initiative has helped raise the profile of Bolivia’s in-house legal community and created a forum for bringing together general counsel and senior legal professionals from many of the country’s leading organizations.

Lindsay Sykes, Co-Managing Partner of PPO Indacochea, said:

“Our initial objective in bringing THE LEGAL 500 GC Powerlist to Bolivia was to help raise the international profile of Bolivia’s in-house counsel and foster a stronger professional community. Five years later, that community is both more prominent and more connected. It has been a privilege for PPO Indacochea to have contributed to that evolution.”

Alonso Indacochea, Co-Managing Partner of PPO Indacochea, added:

“The fifth edition marks the conclusion of our role as host firm, but not of our engagement with Bolivia’s corporate legal community. The relationships and dialogue built over these five years will continue, and we look forward to creating new opportunities for collaboration, knowledge-sharing and exchange.”

Five editions on, the GC Powerlist Bolivia has become an established forum for recognizing Bolivia’s in-house counsel and bringing greater visibility to the country’s corporate legal community.
