Business Planning & Risk Management

The CommLaw Group prides itself on providing its corporate and business clients with sound legal advice targeted at risk management, business planning, and other proactive measures designed to avoid or minimize the eects of litigation. Risk management is an area that aims to protect business assets and prots by reducing the potential for litigation and loss before it occurs, and by nancing, through insurance and other means, potential risks to catastrophic loss. Our risk management and business planning attorneys assist clients with the following:

Risk Assessment – Identify and quantify liability and the potential exposure that threatens the assets and protability of a business, corporation, or partnership.

Loss Control & Prevention – Reduce the frequency and severity of loss through preventative measures such as innovative solutions, insurance, internal audits, regulatory guidance and tax planning.

Risk Transfer – Shift the nancial burden of loss through business structure, business organization, and insurance coverage so that, in the event of a catastrophe, an organization can continue to function.

Risk Monitoring – Monitor and assess existing risk and future liability.
