We are in a time of unprecedented opportunity. From geopolitical realignments to transformative technologies , today's most dynamic forces are interconnected, fast-moving and global – creating competitive breakthroughs for organizations bold enough to harness them.

Our global strategic risk management (GSRM) practice is built for this moment. We help clients see these forces differently – not as threats to be managed, but as strategic opportunities to be anticipated, shaped and orchestrated. This is where we lead with bold perspective, deep global experience and a unified team ready to move and execute fast when transformation matters most. This means we don't just deliver strategic advice – we execute it through our unified global legal teams.

Our GSRM practice delivers what clients previously needed multiple relationships to achieve. We draw together senior lawyers from across the firm – corporate advisors, regulatory strategists, litigators, M&A and equity capital markets professionals, sustainability leaders and more – into one cohesive offering that combines legal authority with strategic vision.

Today's most transformative business opportunities require a deep understanding of risks and opportunities. Business strategy alone is not enough. Boards and general counsels need strategic partners who can understand the issues across geographies and sectors and can provide integrated analysis that transforms critical decisions into competitive breakthroughs. Together, we help clients anticipate where transformation is headed and harness it for competitive advantage when it arrives.

We structure the GSRM group to address a wide range of risks, with particular focus on three rapidly evolving areas where the biggest competitive breakthroughs emerge, each grounded in deep legal insight and a visionary point of view about what comes next. A common thread across all three pillars is complex, shifting global dynamics involving multiple stakeholders that create strategic opportunities for market leaders.

• Geopolitical risk and realignment, including navigating global – often conflicting – sanctions, export controls and international trade; positioning amid kinetic conflicts and regional shifts; capitalizing on regulatory changes and political transitions; and turning anti-bribery and compliance frameworks into competitive differentiation.
• Technology and AI transformation, including harnessing generative AI for business innovation while managing regulatory evolution; turning platform governance into market leadership; building cybersecurity and data protection as strategic assets; and maximizing digital resilience for operational advantage.
• Sustainability and workforce innovation, including transforming supply chain challenges into competitive advantages; converting climate mandates into market opportunities; and leveraging talent transformation as drivers of organizational AI-led human/machine interactions and excellence.

Our work spans proactive planning and rapid, effective response. We help clients navigate the full lifecycle of strategic risk from horizon scanning and scenario planning to crisis management, compliance, M&A and equity capital markets transactions, and litigation defense. We thrive at inflection points where legal, business, technological and societal pressures converge. That is when clients turn to us and when our clarity, creativity, collaboration and unparalleled executional competence make the greatest impact.

We don't just help you navigate uncertainty – we help you harness converging forces to redefine your industry and dominate your market. That is what sets us apart. That is why clients call us when transformation matters most.
