Roundtable H: A practical look at identifying and managing risks

VIRTUAL ROUNDTABLE - ACTIVE PARTICIPATION

About

Identifying and managing risks has never been more important, but with constraining resources and having to operate in an uncertain environment, in-house teams often find themselves overwhelmed. This roundtable discussion looks to address the challenges behind accurately identifying and managing risks when working for a business with an international footprint:

  • How can legal teams continue to identify potential risks early on, when interactions with the business in the current environment of remote working have been much more limited?
  • How can legal functions accurately identify and manage risks in jurisdictions where they don’t have someone on the ground, but their business has operations in?
  • Remote working poses a significant challenge to companies when it comes to risk management. Are businesses changing the way they identify and report their risks as a result?
  • Who should own risk management within an organisation? Is this something lawyers can take the lead on, going forward?
  • Developing a road map for effective risk management and mitigation processes and controls
  • Leveraging technology for more effective risk management: what does this look like in practice?
