In the News: Guillermo Escobedo Discusses Supporting New Lawyers in San Diego Lawyer Article
Constangy San Diego office managing partner Guillermo Escobedo was featured in the September/October 2025 issue of the San Diego County Bar Association's San Diego Lawyer in an article exploring how Latino legal leaders are shaping the legal profession and supporting newer generations of attorneys.
The article, titled “Uplifting Voices: Celebrating Hispanic Legal Leadership and Legacy,” highlights the deep influence of Latino cultural values on leadership styles within the legal community. Guillermo reflects on the central role of family as a cultural foundation — one that instills principles of unity, responsibility, and collective success. He explains how those values translate directly into how he leads his team:
“I look at leadership in the same way — you are assuming the responsibility of training, supporting and caring for your team; you lead by example through hard work; you celebrate their professional growth and achievements.”
Guillermo also emphasizes the importance of humility, gratitude, and recognizing the people who help shape one’s professional path. As he notes in the article:
“Your successes are not a solo act. There are family, friends, and colleagues that support and guide you. Give thanks, keep your head down, and retain some humility.”
Together, his insights underscore the article’s broader theme: that leadership in the legal field is strongest when it is grounded in cultural identity, service to others, and a commitment to lifting up the next generation of lawyers.
