Copec, Abastible and Blue Express featured among Forbes Chile’s 50 leading Legal Departments


The legal teams of three Empresas Copec companies were included in “Quién es Quién en las Gerencias Legales” (Who’s Who in Legal Departments), a list compiled for the first time by Forbes Chile together with consulting firm Audentia.

The recognized departments were selected from 85 applications submitted by companies operating in Chile. The editorial team of Forbes Chile and Audentia, together with a panel of six legal and corporate experts, assessed three dimensions: leadership and structure of the legal department (30%), management and contribution to the business (40%), and visibility and external engagement (30%). The list is organized by sector and does not rank the companies.

In Energy, the list includes Copec, with its Legal Department led by Juan Carlos Balmaceda, and Abastible, whose Legal, Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Department is headed by Paula Jervis. Blue Express, Copec’s delivery services subsidiary, appears in the Services category with its Legal and Compliance Department, led by Isabel Lagos.

The selected companies will be awarded on Wednesday, November 11, at the GAM Cultural Center.
