Maria Noe Silva Villarroel, VP Legal at Webdox, has built a career at the intersection of legal innovation and business strategy. With over 15 years of experience advising multinational corporations and startups across Latin America, she understands the complexities of corporate governance, legal operations, and technology adoption. In our latest interview, Maria shares insights on the challenges of building a legal community in the region, the need for adaptation in global legal processes, and how professionals can embrace data-driven decision-making.
Maria’s perspective is clear: community, communication, and confidence are essential for legal professionals navigating an evolving landscape. She explains how legal teams in Latin America must balance regional legal nuances with global corporate expectations, often adapting U.S.-centric legal frameworks to civil law jurisdictions. She also tackles the slow adoption of technology in legal departments, revealing how resistance, especially from senior legal leaders, often stems from a lack of data-driven justification. Her advice? Start small.
