Strategic Legal Risk

Assessment and management of legal risks in international and corporate projects.

Legal risk is easier to manage when it is visible early. We identify the legal risks of a project or a business model, assess their impact and help you decide which to accept, reduce or transfer.

The work is practical: a clear picture of exposure, priorities for action and changes to documents, structures or processes that reduce risk without stopping the business.

What we advise on

  • Legal risk assessment of projects and transactions
  • Risks of operating across several jurisdictions
  • Contractual exposure across a portfolio of agreements
  • Governance and compliance risks at group level
  • Risk allocation between partners, contractors and investors
  • Action plans to reduce identified risks

Typical situations

  • A new international project needs a risk review before commitment
  • Owners want an independent view of the group's legal exposure
  • A change in the business model raises new legal questions
  • An incident has revealed weaknesses in contracts or processes

Our approach

We turn a long list of concerns into a short list of priorities.

  1. Scope

    We agree the project, the entities and the documents in scope.

  2. Identify

    We identify legal risks through document review and discussions with your team.

  3. Assess

    We assess likelihood and impact and set priorities.

  4. Plan

    We recommend measures and support their implementation.

What you receive

  • A legal risk map with priorities
  • An assessment of each key risk and its possible consequences
  • A plan of measures with responsibilities
  • Revised documents or clauses where needed

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a legal opinion?

An opinion answers one defined question. A risk assessment looks at a project or a business as a whole and sets priorities across many issues.

Can the review be repeated over time?

Yes. Clients can use an ongoing engagement to review risks as the project develops.

Who needs to be involved on our side?

Usually the owner or a senior manager, and the people who know the relevant contracts and processes.
