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

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
Access control Services
Services which control the supply to end users of digital services other than digital television services and certain other specific exclusions. Access Control Services are not supplied directly to end users but are supplied to third parties (for instance, retailers or banks) who wish to supply digital services to end users.
False in a material particular
'False' means 'erroneous' and a 'material particular' is one which is significant and not merely trivial or inconsequential.
Mezzanine financing
This is the term associated with the middle layer of financing in leveraged buyouts. In its simplest form, this is a type of loan finance that sits between equity and secured debt. Because the risk with mezzanine financing is higher than with senior debt, the interest charged by the provider will be higher than that charged by traditional lenders, such as banks. However, equity provision—through warrants or options—is sometimes incorporated into the deal.
