Regulation is taking over the agenda for in-house counsel across Latin America, according to the results of the 2020 GC Powerlist Survey: Latin America. Almost 70% of respondents reported that the sector in which they are operated is highly regulated – 92% said that their sector was at least moderately regulated.
What’s more, 85% of all respondents said that they expect regulation in their sector to increase in the next five years, with almost half of that number (37% of all respondents) expecting a great increase in regulation. Virtually no respondents expected regulation to decrease in the next five years, and just 14% expected no change at all.
