: Law Department ManagementThoughts on the title ?Head of Dispute Resolution and Risk Management?
By Rees Morrison
In July 2008 BAE Systems? general counsel chose a law firm partner to head its ?Dispute Resolution and Risk Management? group. According to Corp. Counsel, Vol. 15, Dec. 2008 at 96, this is the title of the group. I have no quarrel with ?dispute resolution,? because that term ? broader than litigation management ? more comprehensively covers efforts to forestall lawsuits and to deal expeditiously with pre-litigation claims.
I have a major bone to pick with ?risk management.? Risk management, whatever that is, is much bigger than legal risks (See my post of March 23, 2008: risk management with 18 references.). So why charge some lawyer with that massive responsibility? It is a title too far.
