Effective Management of Legal Risk (London, United
Post# of 301275
Dublin, Oct. 02, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Effective Management of Legal Risk" conference has been added to Research and Markets' offering.
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:
- Equipped with a good understanding of the legal implications of actions (or inactions) and the commitments entered into
- 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 commitments
Unique Feature A key feature of this seminar is the practical workshop session which is designed to explore more effective ways in which legal awareness can be raised and legal risk better managed.

- In house lawyers
