Habil Waswani's Recognition In The Legal 500 GC Power List

So, you may ask, what is the legal 500 GC Power list? The GC Power List is a prestigious global ranking that honors top legal professionals and firms for their outstanding contributions. Nomination to this list is a mark of distinction and one of the highest accolades a lawyer can achieve.

Habil expressed gratitude for the recognition, attributing it to his contributions across various stages of his career i.e. banking, insurance, and now aviation. He described the accolade as a significant personal achievement and thanked those responsible for his nomination. "This award is a significant personal achievement that I treasure. It reflects my contributions across various sectors throughout my legal career, culminating in my current role in Kenya Airways."

Habil also spoke on the significant contributions made by his young team, which he set up 3 years ago when he joined the legal operations of Kenya Airways. "Previously, a portion of what the legal Department does was outsourced. Me coming in 2021 meant centralizing everything fully within here and setting up a team that can efficiently run KQ's global operations."

Regarding the challenges he has faced, Habil highlighted the difficulty of assembling the right team to centralize and manage the company's legal operations. "I am glad I was able to put together a team that is young, dynamic, diverse and growing that can identify, assess and make sure all the legal risks the airline faces or potentially face is covered."

Habil Waswani's inclusion in the inaugural GC Power List event in the region is a remarkable achievement, highlighting a major milestone for both him and Kenya Airways. The Pride of Africa is proud of you Habil.
