About Risk & Compliance
Lexis+ Risk & Compliance is an online practical guidance product for in-house legal and compliance teams dealing with the ever-increasing and ever-shifting burden of risk and compliance.
Risk management guides
Each guide identifies five key priorities for the area of risk, and gives a heads-up on why each is a priority area. The priority is explained in further detail, with a series of mini-checklists and action points.
Competition & antitrust law compliance
Having a clear understanding of the nature of competition law compliance and the associated risks/challenges for businesses is the first step to setting effective compliance arrangements. We help organisations with this.
GDPR compliance
Practical guidance tools, registers, training aids and other templates to help you comply with data protection law and manage privacy risks
Regulation
Helping in-house counsel, privacy and compliance professionals manage the regulatory burden. GDPR, BA, MLR and plenty more, we've got it covered.
