Key findings from the 2025 report on Top Risks

 As chief legal officers (CLOs) and general counsel (GCs) look ahead to the next two to three years, economic, cultural and operational challenges that can threaten business resilience and the legal function’s ability to operate effectively are high on their risk radar. From macroeconomic volatility to workplace transformation and rising labour costs, the pressures today’s legal executives are facing extend well beyond traditional legal risk management.

The latest findings from our Top Risks survey reveal a clear theme: CLOs and GCs are being asked to do more — with less — in an increasingly unpredictable environment. Legal executives must help protect their organisations from compliance missteps as well as a host of financial, reputational and cultural risks that stem from forces outside their direct control.

Download the insights brief below for a closer look at the top near-term risks keeping CLOs and GCs up at night, followed by an analysis of their key risk concerns for legal leaders looking out across the next decade.
