Our Expertise in Corporate Governance
Risk Management and Corporate Compliance
In today’s business landscape, companies from all sectors grapple with intricate compliance challenges in various domains. The potential risks include reputational damage, civil liability, enforcement actions, and even criminal prosecution when things go awry. Our team assists clients in conducting risk assessments and audits, performing compliance reviews, developing and testing compliance policies and procedures, and implementing reputational risk management programs. We also undertake transactional and institutional due diligence reviews, oversee internal investigations, and provide defense in externally driven investigations and enforcement actions.
Directors' Liability
Directors of companies carry a significant responsibility for the decisions they make and the actions they take in the course of running businesses. This responsibility comes with various legal obligations, and failure to meet these obligations can result in personal liability for directors which can have severe financial and legal consequences.
At VGA, we understand the complexities of directors’ liability, and we are here to help you navigate its challenges effectively.
Our team of experienced legal professionals can provide comprehensive support in the following areas:
- Risk evaluation: We conduct thorough legal assessments of the directors’ decisions, roles, and duties to identify potential areas of risk and liability. Our goal is to help directors understand the specific challenges they may face and develop sound legal strategies to address them proactively.
- Risk management: We work closely with directors to establish robust risk management frameworks that ensure compliance. Our proactive approach helps minimise the likelihood of legal issues arising in the first place.
- Prevention: We offer guidance and training to directors and key personnel to ensure they are aware of their legal obligations and responsibilities. This can help prevent inadvertent breaches of the law and ensure a timely response by directors.
