Effective Management of Legal Risk

Legal risk is just part of the jigsaw of risk and reward which business people have to manage. Once an organisation establishes a legal department, there can be a tendency for business people to abdicate, and the in-house lawyer confiscate, management of legal risk. Poor management of legal risk can impair the prosperity and growth of a business by an accumulation of ineptitude or the drama of a showstopper.

This seminar has been designed for in-house lawyers and business people – why segregate the populations who need to work together to ensure that the relevant legal risks can be well managed with reliable, but not cumbersome, processes as well as awareness and compliance programmes.

It is quite understandable that business people are frustrated by legal constraints on their activities and vent their resentment on the lawyer who reminds them of those constraints. Lawyers have often resorted to communicating less than helpfully or persuasively.
