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 organisation’s resilience?

Legal & Compliance has a defined strategy aligned with the group business strategy, providing clear definition of priorities on a risk-based approach; this serves as the “the north-star” when dealing with uncertainty or major workloads. While the business strategy is annually reviewed, the expectations for the Legal & Compliance work and priorities, including risk appetite, are regularly aligned with management and Board – resulting in a regular review and adjustment of the Legal & Compliance strategy to ensure evolving business needs are met.

What are the main cases or transactions that you have been involved in recently?
