06/18/2025 When Values Lead, Borders Fade. Elizabeth Hincapié Hincapié is more than a legal expert – she’s a bridge builder across cultures, systems, and values. A qualified lawyer in three countries, Elizabeth specializes in international and domestic contract law and dispute resolution (arbitration). At TRG, she’s a vital voice for integrity, clarity, and responsibility – navigating complexity with precision and empathy.
Her legal journey has been global from the start: Colombia, France, Spain, Switzerland, Germany. This international lens shapes her approach to everything from contract negotiations and compliance to strategic business decisions.
“At a global company like TRG, I can’t sugarcoat risks,” she says. “Safety requires clarity.” Elizabeth moves with ease between directness and diplomacy, Western efficiency and Japanese caution — always guided by values and deep understanding.
One of her greatest strengths: connecting people and ideas. She serves as Deputy Chair of the International Contract Law Working Group and the Düsseldorf Regional Group at the German Association of In-House Lawyers (BUJ). She’s also active in the German Arbitration Institute (DIS), which promotes arbitration and alternative dispute resolution.
To Elizabeth, networking isn’t a duty – it’s a way of thinking: “We don’t need to make every mistake ourselves – we can learn from each other.”
Her compass isn’t just legal. It’s deeply personal. “I find answers when I feel lost – in prayer, in dialogue, in stillness.”
At TRG, where global cultures converge, Elizabeth lives the principle: When values lead, borders fade.
