The challenge of managing entities worldwide

Looking after multiple third parties across several different countries can be difficult, especially as local rules, regulations and processes can vary wildly. Your in-house legal departments work especially hard to ensure your business remains compliant and avoids the consequence of falling foul of rules and regulations.

Bear in mind that these functions set the corporate risk and compliance culture in the organisation. Therefore, your in-house teams want to enhance their reputation for removing the hurdles that hold your business back, meaning you can enter new markets quicker, integrate MA activity faster, or scale the business more quickly.

Legal teams are expected to maintain a global overview of the company’s corporate housekeeping which includes juggling and meeting varying local deadlines.

In addition, they’re expected to handle legal compliance administration, balancing the time-consuming coordination of company secretarial duties across many markets and time-zones, and expected to focus on strategic legal and corporate governance work.
