GLS In-House Legal Risk Tracking Register™
A complete system for identifying, evaluating and managing legal risk.
The Problem
Most legal teams lack a simple, structured method for tracking legal risk - and you cannot manage what you cannot track.
Related challenges include:
- No single, unified register for capturing legal risk
- Difficulty distinguishing noise from genuine risk movement
- Inconsistent scoring that weakens executive confidence
- Limited visibility over emerging patterns or exposure drift
- Unclear escalation thresholds for when risks become “material”
- No consistent approach for linking risk to enterprise impact
- Inability to report legal risk clearly to senior leadership
- Fragmented or outdated tracking methods across the team
Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could access a clear and reliable legal risk tracking register that captures, evaluates and presents legal risk in a structured and executive‑ready format?
The GLS Solution
GLS In‑House Legal Risk Tracking Register™ gives legal teams a clear and practical way to map the full spectrum of legal risk without having to design a register from scratch.
In-house leaders are guided through a structured coverage of the overall legal‑risk landscape that every in-house team must track, against which sector and jurisdcitional specific risks can be added.
The reporting toolkit includes a simple visual dashboard for identifiying:
- risk severity, impact and liklihood;
- risk movements and concentration;
- planned risk mitigation and prevention actions;
- risk ownership, including beyond the legal team; and
- resourcing availability status for risk mitigation.
In addition to helping capture a complete picture of prioritised risk exposure faced by the Business, the Risk Register helps GC's:
- define the organisation’s legal risk profile in commercial terms;
- initiate sensible risk prioritisation discussions;
- allocate risk ownership and accountability of risk; and
- anchors executive discussion around tolerance and control.
The tool lets you communicate potentially complex legal risk landscapes clearly and consistently, avoid under‑reporting, and gives you an executive‑ready view of exposure that the C-level can quickly understand.
This risk reporting tool can be readily deployed by first time users as it:
- is designed with simplicity and ease of use first to mind;
- is delivered as a battle-tested Excel-based template - requiring no specialist software;
- includes detailed guidance notes on legal risk identification, prioritisation, monitoring and tool usage tips; and
- is acompanied by a worked example giving you an immediate benchmark for what “good” looks like.
The risk register is an essential asset for supporting the GC’s professional dialogue with the CEO / Board on the performance of the legal department - something every GC should be looking to optimise.
The toolkit substantially fast tracks the preparation of a key risk monitoring tool and also provides you a clean, executive‑ready pre‑read that helps leadership understand legal exposure at a glance.
The tool helps you materially strengthen risk governance, improve reporting discipline and ensure legal risk is communicated with the clarity and confidence you would expect from a high performing legal team.
Be sure to explore how this tool will help you move from Reactive Legal function Reporting to Proactive Enterprise Risk Architecture & Management to ensure this resource is right for your legal team.
