Increasingly complex international and domestic legal systems have made legal officers a critical part of business growth.
As regulation intensifies across nearly every industry and technology continues to evolve faster than the law, Company Secretaries must defend their company from competitors and regulators, whilst leveraging the law to the full advantage of the business.
Business growth is increasingly tied to technological advances, mergers and acquisitions, and international expansion. To facilitate growth and defend their business in an increasingly litigious environment, senior legal leaders have been moved out of the backroom to become strategic advisors to the CEO and board.
Through Odgers Berndtson’s global network of top legal talent, our Legal practice works closely with organisations to identify and develop legal executives and general counsel with the strategic skills and technical experience to balance corporate responsibility with using the law to their full advantage.
