Advanced Corporate Legal Advisers and Chartered Company Secretaries, a course provided by London Corporate Training, pursues the goal to give its students the needed skills to advice to the Board whilst maintaining complete control of all statutory and legal aspects of the business.
The course combines the best corporate governance subject areas with key elements of the function of the Company Secretary and In-house Legal Department.
During the two weeks of the programme, participants will learn about the mandatory and voluntary checks and balances that should be in place in company structures to reduce the risk of catastrophic governance failure.
They will draw lessons from the many examples of good and bad corporate governance practice in private sector and state owned companies.
Also, they will learn about new obligations of Corporate Social Responsibility and Strategic Risk Management that frequently sit with those senior individuals responsible for protecting the company’s reputation.
Finally, delegates will take away enhanced legal skills in negotiating and structuring contracts and in dispute resolution.
