Risk management as a strategic business tool
|
|
We need our business to see the legal function as an integral part of decision making and not the last resort when things go wrong. Our speakers considered the potential risks to an organisation and discussed how the legal department can promote themselves as an ally you want on your side from the outset.

Hear from the regulators
|
|
Risk is all around us. Every decision we make carries an element of risk and whilst we may not be able to avoid it, we can always be better equipped and prepared. Hear from regulators about their perspective on non-financial risks and how businesses can minimise their exposure.
