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.

Associated legal terms
Capital market (Insolvency)
A market for securities which includes the stock market (equity securities) and the bond market (debt).
Personal Lifetime Allowance
This is the amount of an individual's pre-A Day rights registered with HMRC for protection from the imposition of a lifetime allowance charge.
Right of first refusal (ROFR)
This requires a shareholder, before it can transfer its shares to a third party from whom it has received a bona fide offer, to first offer its shares to the other shareholder or shareholders of the company on the same (or substantially) the same terms as those offered by the third party by following the pre-emption procedure. This provision is considered to favour the other shareholders (rather than the selling shareholder, for which see Right of first offer (ROFO)) as third parties may not be prepared to expend time and money in carrying out the necessary due diligence and negotiating a deal where the other shareholders can simply match their offer, thereby frustrating the deal.
