How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crises, and how does your legal strategy align with the broader business strategy to ensure the organization’s resilience? 

No matter how perfect our business plans may be, crises and instability will inevitably come. As the saying goes, ‘anything that can go wrong will go wrong’. Business resilience is about seeing instability, crises, and ambiguity as opportunities rather than threats. The legal function is not removed from crises; on the contrary, it is involved in and often central to most of them. How does Legal contribute to overall business resilience? By being innovative and creative, thinking outside the box, adjusting the risk-taking framework to new realities, removing barriers and unnecessary bureaucracy, and taking the initiative to drive things forward. Above all, all of this must be carried out under the umbrella of doing the right thing, protecting the company, and staying compliant.
