How does Rowin Corporation BV work with General Counsel in making sure the board fulfills its duty to monitor, not only in terms of addressing director liability problems as they emerge, but also in proactively minimising the risk of future events?
The General Counsel in principle bears the responsibility of presenting the legal findings identified by Rowin Corporation BV. If the board does not correctly assess the severity of its obligations concerning monitoring, the advice of our firm would be rendered obsolete.
As such, Rowin Corporation BV is always keen to stay in touch with the General Counsel, continuously informing on progress and putting emphasis on the need for compliance. During this process we maintain an open and friendly atmosphere with the General Counsel and the board, in which every matter can be discussed in full confidentiality.
Apart from advice concerning specific issues that have already occurred, Rowin Corporation BV also ensures that clients are aware of potential hazards and the precautions they can take in this context. We put a particular emphasis on anticipating and preventing the occurrence of possible liabilities.
In order to do this, we invest in insight concerning the business model and organisational structure of clients. This gives the advantage of knowing precisely what laws and regulations are of specific importance to clients and where the hazards lie. By doing so, we ensure precise, effective and efficient advice and support for a General Counsel concerning risk management.
John Wolfs frequently lectures on director liability, and is always monitoring relevant legal and non-legal market developments with the aim of proactively informing clients. In addition to this, we stress the importance of insurance coverage, having in-house specialist attorneys in insurance law.
