Why choose Advising the Board

Your business needs the best Board it can get, and the Board needs the best support it can get – to keep it at the top of its game and to keep it on top of an ever-changing situation.

Advising the Board

Whether you want to bring new directors up to speed, provide specialist training for directors with specific responsibilities, or cover issues that the whole Board should address, Advising the Board provides the high-level, high-quality Board training you need. It can also provide training for in-house professionals who themselves advise or work with the Board.

The session was really informative and gave us real food for thought. I have just taken an extremely complimentary call from the CEO on you both and the process, she was genuinely really impressed and that’s not easy.

Why choose a programme from CMS?

As one of the world’s largest law firms, we have the practice and sector reach across dozens of jurisdictions that means we can cover any risk that matters to you.
We have decades of experience of advising on traditional risks, but we also have a future-facing approach that puts us at the forefront on emerging topics like climate change, biotechnology and e-commerce.
Building on our well-established information and training programmes and our extensive experience of delivering boardroom support, Advising the Board is a consistent and coordinated programme of Board-level training, designed specifically to help both new and experienced directors handle key commercial and personal risks.

Why choose it now?

Boards have more to manage than ever. In recent years directors have been forced to get to grips with a wide range of new and rapidly evolving threats, from cyber security through ESG to class actions – as well as the shifting political and economic environment, the pandemic and its aftermath.

As the risk landscape grows in complexity, it becomes ever more challenging for boards to identify, understand and manage their key risks, and to keep the effectiveness of their risk mitigation under constant review. Those that can’t are in ever greater danger of finding themselves in situations that could cause serious damage to their business. Those that can have a genuine competitive advantage.
