INAUGURAL

MANAGING RISK CONFERENCE DATE: 12 FEBRUARY 2015 / VENUE: THE KING’S FUND, NO.11 CAVENDISH SQUARE, LONDON / CPD: 7 HRS

Successfully implement corporate governance and compliance across your company

Dear colleague,

Legislative and economic developments in the last few years have changed the way companies work and how they manage risk. The legal function’s role has therefore become more demanding: businesses are looking up to their legal team as business partners, strategic planners but also as their risk and crisis managers. It is now up to you and your team to promote profitability, facilitate business transactions and be proactive to prevent risk before it even happens. But how do you achieve this as well as ensuring you stay on top of corporate governance policies, compliance and ethics as part of your day to day activities?

Practical Law is therefore delighted to bring you the inaugural conference on Managing Risk. We’ve designed this event to offer you a unique experience. We’re not here to teach you the intricacies of the law and regulations but to offer you practical knowledge so you will be able to apply foolproof policies and procedures to fight risk and stay compliant.

Hear practical case studies from organisations who have stories to tell regarding what anti-fraud and corruption strategies have been deployed, how to protect corporate reputation and guard against social media risks, best practice to fend off cyber-attacks, and how best to fight financial crime. You will also learn how to ensure your contracts are reaping rewards for the business, implement an ethical business culture and have an effective whistleblowing process in place.

I look forward to seeing you in February.

Best wishes,
