Beyond the Law: How General Counsel are turning risk to
advantage for Canadian businesses
Globally, business models are changing and becoming more complex.
The global economic crisis and the tightened regulatory environment
that followed in its wake have shifted how businesses make decisions
and operate. A company's chief legal advisor, its General Counsel (GC),
is playing a greater role in these decisions and in helping to shape
the organization's strategy and achieve its corporate objectives. Our
Canadian survey followed KPMG's global study of GC that provided a
thorough review of where GCs believe their legal departments are headed.
