Webcast: Managing Third-Party Risk in a Shifting Regulatory Landscape

Webcasts | February 5, 2026

Managing third-party risk is a central challenge for global companies. This webinar looks at how organizations can identify and address risks that arise through suppliers, contractors, distributors, and other partners. The discussion covers due diligence, contract terms, monitoring processes, and internal controls. It also considers how different jurisdictions set expectations for companies, and how enforcement agencies view the management of third parties. Examples show how disputes often arise when business units seek to pursue opportunities while compliance teams seek to protect the company from exposure.

This session highlights the importance of striking a balance between commercial aims and legal obligations. Presenters discuss how companies can design risk-based approaches, ensure compliance functions have real authority, and avoid blind spots that allow misconduct to go unnoticed.
