In a complex world where corporate scandals, government investigations, and fines are becoming more prevalent, effectively managing legal risk is critical to the health of an organization. Therefore, leaders of companies of all sizes need to be proactive about instituting a legal risk management program that covers such issues as class action lawsuits, product liability claims, shareholder actions, and other legal-related matters. Bryan E. Hopkins, an international lawyer who has spent years counseling multinational corporations, combines legal risk concepts with enterprise risk management to help companies get smart about managing risk. Within his guide, company leaders will learn how to:

• apply legal risk management concepts in a corporate setting;
  
• understand how to manage regulatory and compliance issues
  
• avoid accusations of discrimination; and
  
• steer clear of product liability claims.

Hopkins also includes a fictional case study with two characters who bring risk management issues to life.

The Art of Legal Risk Management shares lessons, strategies, and action steps that will help business leaders around the world to minimize, mitigate, and transfer legal risk.
