The in-house lawyer has a key role in helping to minimise the risks his organisation is facing. These risks may include issues arising from the increased spotlight on public sector finances that have a knock on effect on the private sector, the impact Climate Change might have on the IHL’s activities and how compliance processes, carbon accounting and environmental reporting might affect corporate governance. In addition, there are changes afoot in the field of corporate governance under the revised Combined Code, remuneration and obligations proposed to come into force under the Bribery Bill. These issues will have an impact on the role of the IHL and how he carries out his role in promoting and implementing corporate governance strategies. In changing times the roles of the in-house lawyer as trusted advisor on corporate governance issues, and manager of legal and regulatory risk, become all the more critical. This seminar will discuss the corporate governance issues that arise and explore the value added by the IHL in supporting forward looking strategies.
