The Legal Risk Gap
Businesses invest heavily in financial audits and credit scores, yet most have never objectively assessed their legal preparedness. The result: costly litigation, regulatory fines, and missed deals — all of which could have been anticipated.
"60% of small and mid-size businesses face a significant legal issue each year — yet fewer than 20% have a formal legal risk management process."
