The Risk Survey - IHL and DAC Beachcroft
Contributors
The multi-faceted nature of risk makes it a complex subject to manage. Formal structures and a pro-active approach can support both the handling of effective risk management and mitigation, as well as a crisis. The general counsel has an important part to play at all stages. Having an effective relationship with the business, as well as experience in areas such as M&A, health and safety, competition, compliance, regulatory and reputation management (to name but a few), can see the GC as ringmaster. However, wherever the GC is not seen as core to the organisation, they will be trying to defend the organisation from the sidelines.
To explore these issues, DAC Beachcroft has teamed up with The In-House Lawyer to canvass clients on the role and influence of the GC in the management and mitigation of risk – something which impacts all organisations, regardless of risk.
