Controlling company growth
​
The bigger the company gets, the more complex become work processes. Company growth alters the allocation of tasks and creates team dynamics unheard of previously. Also, the expansion of business activities trigger new legal questions which haven‘t been relevant at earlier stages of the company lifetime. Now, however, such legal pitfalls need to be taken care of.

 

Company development demands diligent management. This is particularly the case for the Legal Department.

 

Legal has to make a lot of ends meet in a company as the Legal Dept. is responsible for finding the right balance between entrepreneurial freedom of action on the one side and avoidance of legal risks on the other. It is true what they say: "nothing ventured, nothing gained."  However, an unguided adventurous attitude of business leaders may entice them to play with fire. On the other hand, an overcautious Legal Dept. may paralyze the innovative power of the business. Legal, therefore, is thus responsible for enabling management to take informed, smart decisions on taking risks, (viz. "smart risks") at all times.

 

And when the company changes, so does its risk profile, Legal then has to take action to keep up with this evolution it order to seemlessly continue fulfilling its important task under changing conditions.

​

This by no means affects merely young, growing companies: Seasoned corporations, in particular, often have difficulties challenging themselves by putting their established legal processes and structures to the test.

​

In both cases, companies are well advised to have their change process managed by an independent, qualified outside advisor who makes sure that all stakeholders in the companies are adequately involved in the process.
