Effective Management of Legal Risk
description

ABOUT THE COURSE

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 the 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.It is undeniable that an organisation will be more agile in today’s demanding environment if it is:1. EQUIPPED with a good understanding of the legal implications of actions (or inactions) and the commitments entered into2. INVOLVING lawyers in the right things at the right time

In today’s tough economic conditions in-house legal departments are under pressure:

  • To reduce or freeze headcount in line with cost reduction programmes
  • To reduce legal spend or keep it under even tighter control
  • To be more attentive to the risks of business failure and unreliable commitmentsSUPERIOR MANAGEMENT OF LEGAL RISK IS HIGH ON ALL AGENDAS.
