Risk Management in Law Firms : Mitigate Risk and Enhance Firm Success
Effective risk management in law firms has never been more important.Lawyers must contend with the long-standing risks associated with the practice of law, such as anti-money laundering and issues of client confidentiality, as well as new risk areas such as data protection and cybersecurity, and increased regulatory burdens.Poor handling of these risks can lead to reputational damage, diminished client relationships, and even regulatory action, and so it is critical for law firms to remain vigilant and put in place robust risk management policies, processes and systems. Risk Management in Law Firms brings together lawyers, consultants and other risk and compliance professionals to provide expert and practical guidance on essential risk management topics.Chapters cover risks relating to clients, internal operations and law and regulation, and address recent developments including issues arising from the shift to hybrid working, the increased focus on ESG and climate change, and the extended influence of clients through outside counsel guidelines.There is also consideration of the future of risk management with coverage of the proposed changes to the SRA Codes of Conduct to address issues relating to wellbeing and unfair treatment at work, and the commercial opportunities for law firms and individual lawyers presented by the increasingly flexible principles-based regulation. This title aims to help law firm leaders and individual lawyers understand and prepare for the risks they face - as well effectively handle them when issues do arise - whether they occur in the firm's internal operations or its dealings with clients.In-house counsel and others will also find it useful to understand their law firm colleagues better, enhancing professional relationships.With the comprehensive coverage of key risk areas in this title, lawyers and firms can not only ensure compliance, but also maintain healthy client relationships, educated staff, a positive reputation, and continued success and growth.

The Social Constitution : Embedding Social Rights Through Legal Mobilization
In The Social Constitution, Whitney Taylor examines the conditions under which new constitutional rights become meaningful and institutionalized.Taylor introduces the concept of 'embedding' constitutional law to clarify how particular visions of law come to take root both socially and legally.Constitutional embedding can occur through legal mobilization, as citizens understand the law in their own way and make legal claims - or choose not to - on the basis of that understanding, and as judges decide whether and how to respond to legal claims.These interactions ultimately construct the content and strength of the constitutional order.Taylor draws on more than a year of fieldwork across Colombia and multiple sources of data, including semi-structured interviews, original surveys, legal documents, and participation observation.This title is part of the Flip it Open Programme and may also be available Open Access.Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.

Should I take a second risk and risk a second rejection?
Taking a second risk and risking a second rejection can be a difficult decision. It's important to consider the potential benefits of taking the risk, as well as the potential consequences of facing rejection again. If the potential rewards outweigh the potential negative outcomes, and if you believe that the risk is worth taking, then it may be worth considering taking the second risk. However, it's also important to take into account your emotional well-being and to consider whether you are prepared to handle another rejection. Ultimately, the decision to take a second risk is a personal one and should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances.

Would you risk it?
As an AI, I do not have the capacity to take risks or make decisions based on emotions or personal preferences. However, I can provide information and analysis to help individuals make informed decisions about whether or not to take risks based on their own circumstances and risk tolerance. Ultimately, the decision to take a risk depends on the potential benefits, the likelihood of success, and the individual's willingness to accept the potential consequences.

Conflicted Care : Doctors Navigating Patient Welfare, Finances, and Legal Risk
An eye-opening and compelling ethnography about how doctors make decisionsThe oath that doctors take to "do no harm" suggests that patient welfare is at the center of what it means to be a successful medical professional.It is also understood, however, that hospitals are not only vessels for medical care—they are businesses, educational institutions, and complex bureaucracies with intricate codes of etiquette that dictate how each staff member should approach situations with patients.In Conflicted Care, Hyeyoung Oh Nelson provides an in-depth look at the decision-making processes of physicians at a large, prestigious academic medical center—that she calls Pacific Medical Center—and finds that more often than not patient wellbeing is only one of several factors governing day-to-day decisions.The steps physicians take reveal a kind of hidden curriculum of the medical world, one that is guided by status and hierarchy, bureaucracy, norms for consulting with third-parties, regulations for interactions with patients, and medical uncertainty.While at an institutional and individual level patient care continues to be integral to everything the physicians do, they are forced to reconcile that vow with these other, often-conflicting internal logics.Harm, Nelson argues, is thus built into the practice of medicine in the United States.This harm can take the form of unnecessary treatments and consultations or inadequate treatment for pain to motivate specialist intervention that would otherwise be resisted.These and other practices have the overall consequence of significantly driving up inpatient care costs, which then results in patients forgoing needed, ongoing treatment once they receive their medical bills. Drawing on a deep ethnography of physicians in the Internal Medicine Service unit, Nelson offers a sharp assessment of current policies aimed at alleviating medical costs and explains why they are ineffective.She concludes by offering novel policy and practice recommendations for health care practitioners, policy makers, and healthcare institutions.

LNG Offshore Production and Regasification : Legal and Commercial Risk Management
This is the first book to focus on the law and practice relating to the production and delivery of liquified natural gas (LNG) using offshore floating facilities.This segment of the offshore oil and gas industry has been growing over recent years and has now assumed special importance in the wake of interruption to international gas supplies, with a number of countries turning to importing LNG through floating offshore regasification units in order to protect their energy security.The reader will gain a thorough understanding of the operational risks as far as these are relevant to contractual obligations and potential liabilities. The book draws on the relevant maritime and commercial law, applying this with specific focus on the requirements of offshore facilities liquefying, carrying and storing a cargo at -162°C, then regasifying and transferring the same onshore.The contracts relating to the operation of these facilities mirror some aspects of conventional LNG vessel charters but include important additional features specific to offshore LNG operations.The discharge of LNG from a sea-going vessel into a receiving floating, storage and regasification unit (FSRU) (and the storage and regasification of LNG into the receiving pipeline) may be problematic and lead to significant commercial consequences if there is underperformance.The allocation of related risks as between the LNG owner and the FSRU operator and other interested parties is analysed in this book.The authors also consider the specific legal issues pertaining to production of LNG offshore in a floating facility (FLNG), and the role of LNG as a transition fuel used to meet current low-carbon targets. This book will be invaluable to legal practitioners advising clients engaged in developing and operating offshore LNG projects, project managers and related insurers, financiers and commercial parties.It will also be of direct relevance to gas production, distribution and utility companies, and to maritime commercial centres.

Risk
From the co-publisher of acclaimed poetry press Omnidawn, Risk engages directly with limitations, both those that structure the literal form of the poems and literary form and those that are both unavoidable and self-inflicted.In Risk, award-winning poet Rusty Morrison uses a constraining form of seven-syllable segments with breaks between to explore questions of limitation.In these poems, she is not just writing about constraints, but living inside and seeing how to manage them.In this way, the speaker of these poems actively experiences limitations as event, not aftermath.Drawing on the idea of philosopher and critic Hélène Cixous who writes that "the border makes up the homeland, it prohibits and gives passage in the same stroke," in Risk Morrison aims where the border and framings she uses offer understanding and where boundaries should be pushed against and passed beyond, as frightening as that might be.

Does property rights supersede the constitution?
Property rights are protected by the constitution, but they do not necessarily supersede it. The constitution provides a framework for protecting property rights, but it also balances those rights with the broader interests of society. In some cases, the government may have the authority to limit or regulate property rights in the interest of public welfare, as long as it does so within the bounds of the constitution. Therefore, while property rights are important and protected, they are not absolute and must be balanced with other constitutional principles.

Would you take the risk?
It would depend on the specific situation and the potential risks involved. If the potential benefits outweigh the risks and I have thoroughly assessed and mitigated the risks, then I might consider taking the risk. However, if the risks are too high or the potential consequences are severe, I would likely choose not to take the risk. Ultimately, it is important to carefully evaluate the situation and make an informed decision based on the available information.
