Increased geo-political risk is a significant issue for businesses as 2014 draws to a close against a backdrop of a subdued global market. International threats like the situation in Russia, escalating unrest in the Middle East, and concerns about Ebola all impact investment decisions and may lead to missed opportunities for global growth. CEOs and boardrooms need to properly navigate and balance risk in order to seize opportunities, as well as to ensure they are not paralyzed by it.

The second edition of our Global Boardroom Risk Solutions newsletter highlights considerations for the boardroom amid an environment of increased global risk. In this issue, we spotlight:

  • Political, Economic, and Country Risk
  • Antitrust Compliance: Practical Ways to Mitigate Antitrust Risk
  • Attorney–Client Privilege in the United States
  • The Role of the Modern General Counsel
  • Claims Made Liability Policies: Are You Getting Any Real Buck for Your Buck?
