Mastering Grc: The Lawyer's Guide to Success in Governance, Risk, and Compliance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639056439)

Lawyers shape critical decisions about governance, risk, and compliance every day, yet many struggle to see how their work fits into the integrated framework of GRC and its contribution to achieving client objectives. In this practical guide, GRC pioneer Carole Stern Switzer leverages her unique background as both a leading law firm partner and co-founder of OCEG - the organization that created the only official GRC standard - to help lawyers navigate the evolving world of integrated GRC.

Switzer maps out how lawyers can transform from traditional legal advisors into strategic GRC partners. Mastering GRC: The Lawyer's Guide to Success in Governance, Risk, and Compliance breaks down the interconnected elements of GRC, providing a clear roadmap for enhancing your impact across all three domains. Readers will uncover practical strategies for aligning legal expertise with business objectives, effectively communicating complex risks to non-legal stakeholders, and leveraging emerging technologies to improve GRC practices.

This book examines GRC challenges across diverse settings, from multinational corporations to government agencies. It tackles pressing questions about balancing dual roles as legal advisors and business operators, managing ethical obligations, and building rewarding GRC-focused careers. As organizations face new challenges - from artificial intelligence to climate change - this guide equips the reader with tools to adapt and lead. Whether you are in-house counsel aiming to expand your strategic influence or external advisors seeking to better serve your clients' GRC needs, Mastering GRC: The Lawyer's Guide to Success in Governance, Risk, and Compliance provides the framework and practical guidance needed to elevate your contributions from reactive problem-solver to proactive partner in organizational success.
