Tech-driven Ccompliance
GC speaks to Alejandra Castro, head of law, patents and compliance for Central America, Caribbean and Andean region, and Catalina Morales, data privacy manager for Central America and Caribbean, to uncover the technology transformation taking place within the legal team of pharmaceutical giant Bayer.
GC: Can you tell me about how you use technology in the Bayer legal team in Costa Rica?
Alejandra Castro (AC): The legal headquarters in Germany have organised a worldwide structure in the legal department. We might be a unique global legal department where all our strategies are aligned including the vision on technology that should lead our functions. We centralise in a single IT tool the contracts, compliance cases, and data privacy processes, in addition to the monitoring of regulations in the region, plus patents as well.
