Dialog Management is glad to announce a new forum “Managing Legal Risks: status 2015”, taking place in October 2015 in Moscow. The programme has been especially developed to provide the unique learning experience to in-house lawyers. It will present them with detailed step-by-step guide to the latest changes in Russian Corporate Law and the Civil Code and will provide practical advice on building well equipped and proactive legal function within the organisation.

Companies and financial institutions based in Russia have been facing many challenges lately. Extended sanctions, closing of international markets, volatility and weak rouble did not leave anyone unaffected. “How to adapt corporate legal practices, implement effective legal strategy and mitigate regulatory risks?”, - is one of the main questions faced by in-house lawyers and top managers in Russian today. Taking into account possible consequences, not only does every company have to assess the legal risks of doing business in the current market conditions but also develop and implement a set of risk management measures as soon as possible. The role of the in-house lawyer has grown significantly. Nowadays, the lawyer’s participation goes far beyond supporting company's business activity and active participation of the lawyer is required in taking strategic decisions, making development plans and organising preventive work covering whole array of legal issues.
