Legal Risks in Business Workshop
​
Directors  and managers face growing legal risks stemming from stricter regulatory frameworks, heightened scrutiny on data protection (GDPR), evolving labour laws, health and safety, complex cross-border contracts, and compliance requirements in anti-bribery and anti-corruption measures. This workshop equips managers with the tools to navigate legal challenges effectively, avoid financial losses, safeguard reputations, and maintain operational continuity. By addressing these top concerns with practical strategies and case studies, the programme empowers participants to proactively mitigate risks, ensuring their organisations are both compliant and resilient.
Topics Covered
​
Understanding Legal Risks in Business
This module provides an in-depth overview of legal risks, exploring their financial, operational, and reputational impacts on businesses. Participants will learn to identify the primary legal risks in their industries, including compliance breaches, contractual disputes, and regulatory violations. Real-world examples will illustrate how legal risks arise and their consequences. This session emphasises proactive identification and assessment of risks to foster informed decision-making and effective risk management.

Compliance Management and Regulatory Frameworks
Focusing on EU and Maltese regulatory frameworks, this module explains critical compliance areas, such as GDPR, anti-money laundering (AML), and industry-specific regulations e.g. in Health and Safety. Participants will gain insights into building compliance programmes, monitoring legal obligations, and responding to audits and inspections. Case studies highlight how non-compliance can disrupt operations, demonstrating the importance of integrating compliance into corporate culture to prevent penalties and reputational harm.

Managing Contractual Obligations and Risks
This module delves into the legal complexities of contract management, covering negotiation, drafting, and enforcement. Participants will learn to identify common contractual pitfalls, including unclear terms, missed obligations, and jurisdictional challenges in cross-border agreements. 

Navigating Labour Laws and Employee Relations
Labour laws in Malta and the EU are dynamic and require vigilant adherence. This module explores key employment law issues, such as contracts, terminations, discrimination, and workplace safety. Participants will learn to address grievances, avoid claims of unfair practices, and manage sensitive workplace issues legally and ethically. The session provides actionable guidance to minimise disputes and foster a legally compliant work environment.

Mitigating Reputational and Financial Legal Risks
Reputational damage and financial loss are often consequences of unmanaged legal risks. This module focuses on crisis prevention and response, including managing media fallout, handling disputes professionally, and developing internal controls to avoid legal entanglements. Participants will learn to identify warning signs of impending legal risks, address them proactively, and strengthen organisational resilience against reputational and financial threats.
