Understanding the Different Mandates for Legal and Compliance
Michael Volkov, CEO of The Volkov Law Group, will discuss the respective mandates of the CCO and legal officers in a free webinar Tuesday, Feb. 3, at noon Eastern time.
With the rise of the compliance function in corporate governance, chief compliance officers and general counsels have had to define their responsibilities and coordinate their activities, the firm says on its website. “To do so, chief compliance officers and legal counsel have to understand their different mandates. As the chief legal officer, the general counsel has to understand his or her responsibilities in relation to the Chief Compliance Officer. They have very different responsibilities but share an important responsibility to coordinate their activities,” the firm says.
