Entity governance is no longer just an administrative task—it’s a core legal risk management function. As corporate structures grow more complex and regulatory scrutiny increases, in-house legal teams are being asked to do more with less, often relying on spreadsheets and manual processes that weren’t built to scale.
In this CLE-eligible webinar, we’ll explore why entity governance has become a growing risk area for modern legal departments, where manual tracking breaks down, and what “modern entity governance” looks like in practice. You’ll learn how to move from fragmented spreadsheets to a centralized, accountable system that improves visibility, strengthens compliance, and accelerates readiness for audits, financing, and M&A.
What you’ll learn:
-
-
The biggest governance risks hiding in manual entity tracking (and how they show up during diligence and audits)
-
Why spreadsheets fail as a “source of truth” for entity data, officer records, filings, and authority tracking
-
The pillars of modern governance: centralization, controls, reporting, and transaction readiness
-
How to build a cross-functional operating model between legal, finance, tax, HR, and compliance
-
A step-by-step roadmap for implementing a scalable entity governance system—from inventory to migration to operational workflows
-
Best practices (and common pitfalls) that can make or break modernization efforts
-
Whether you’re managing a fast-growing subsidiary footprint or preparing for an upcoming transaction, this session will give you practical guidance to modernize entity governance with greater control, clarity, and confidence.
