Our General Counsel for Thomson Reuters, Legal, is Ed Friedland. This month he’s featured in an interview in Metropolitan Corporate Counsel magazine.
One of the topics Friedland addresses is compliance., an area of the law that he feels has seen the most growth in a corporate counsel setting:
Some years ago, we were reasonably comfortable operating with the assumption that no news was good news. If we didn’t hear from a particular business or function we could assume that everything was working okay. They knew when to raise their hand and call for help. I don’t think anyone can really afford to operate with that mindset anymore. We need to be more proactive in reaching out to all parts of our business, domestically and globally, to have a comfort level that there’s appropriate attention to compliance, whether you’re in a regulated industry or not.
