What risks are most worrisome for company executives and how can legal departments, chief risk officers and others in a company best mitigate any potential harm?

These questions were asked and answered in Ropes & Gray’s “Risky Business: Mitigating Exposure Through Comprehensive Risk Management” study, released Monday. The study, which Ropes & Gray conducted together with research service FT Remark, asked 300 senior-level executives across a number of industries to identify their top risks and reveal their readiness to handle legal and regulatory challenges.
