Ian Goulden brings his compliance experience to LBC Wise Counsel and joins our team of associates.
“I am delighted to have this opportunity to work with LBC Wise Counsel clients and to establish cost effective compliance programming with in-house teams. This is a crucial part of the in-house role but often does not receive the attention it deserves.”
Put at its most simple our aim is to bolster the resource for teams by helping in a range of activities including:
- Identifying any material legal and compliance risks that are not being adequately mitigated
- Prioritising those risks for mitigation action
- Creating mitigation action plans
- Educating staff through targeted training
- Putting in place means to measure the success of risk mitigation activities
- Making compliance part of the business culture
Ian worked as a solicitor in private practice in the North of England for 12 years before moving in-house with Ocean Group in 1990. He was appointed Legal Director for Ocean Group in 1996 and subsequently became Head of Legal for Exel, a FTSE 100 company, in 2000. By 2005 Ian was leading a team of 60 lawyers based in 17 countries, at which time Exel was acquired by Deutsche Post, the parent company of DHL. Ian then became Director of Legal Practice for DHL. He left them at the end of 2007 to set up a consultancy which specialises in advising companies on legal compliance and legal risk management.
“LBC Wise Counsel has a reputation for insightfulness, sharing best practice ideas and delivering value, qualities that are also very much at the heart of my work. I'm sure there will be a great many teams we can help with the development of their compliance and legal risk management activity.”
