Quantify legal risks and make confident board decisions

Translate complex litigation and compliance risks into resilient financial decision scenarios for your business.

No more vague legal opinions. Get a methodologically sound foundation for your CEO, CFO, and General Counsel to make precise, liability-proof strategic decisions.

Vague forecasts jeopardize your strategic maneuverability

In-house legal departments and traditional law firms often fail to deliver quantified decision proposals for the C-suite.

Purely legal analyses often leave board members in the dark about actual balance sheet impacts and reputational risks. This leads to delayed decisions and unpredictable expenses.

Questions About the Board Decision Framework

How does your offering differ from consulting by a specialized law firm?

Traditional law firms deliver excellent legal opinions, but not decision-making bases for the C-suite. My approach translates this legal complexity into quantified risk scenarios and financial impacts, providing the board and management with a resilient business basis for their strategy.

Why should I engage an external sparring partner in addition to our existing advisors?

I offer a radically independent second opinion with no self-interest in lengthy follow-up mandates or litigation itself. As an external sparring partner, I objectively validate the strategies of existing advisory teams, creating a neutral supervisory instance for the CEO and board of directors in high-risk situations.

Do you also support us in preparing for supervisory or executive board meetings?

Yes, the focus is on 'board-ready' preparation. I create concise decision memos and reports that present complex regulatory issues in a way that allows executive and supervisory boards to soundly fulfill their governance responsibilities and minimize personal liability risks.

How much does working together cost, and when does this investment pay off?

Investments in strategic risk mitigation usually pay for themselves by avoiding a single misjudgment or reputational damage. The fee (e.g., CHF 30,000–60,000 for a framework) is minor compared to insufficient provisions or the opportunity costs of delayed management decisions in multi-billion-dollar risks.

How much time do we need to invest as a leadership team, and how quickly will results be available?

Time-critical cases require rapid transparency: A sound initial assessment is often ready within 48 to 72 hours. In-depth analyses such as the Strategic Risk Snapshot typically require 2 to 4 weeks of your time, while I take on almost all of the operational analytical burden.

What internal resources do we need to allocate for this process?

Collaboration takes place at the highest level between the CEO, CFO, General Counsel, and the board. Internal effort is limited to focused strategy discussions and the release of relevant documents; I handle the complex quantification and preparation of action options for you.

Is your approach also applicable to complex compliance challenges in regulated industries?

Absolutely. Especially in regulated industries such as energy, infrastructure, or automotive, compliance and reputational risks are closely intertwined. I quantify these factors to make their potential impact on enterprise value and capital market confidence tangible.

Can you also support us in an ongoing litigation crisis?

In ongoing investigations or litigation, I provide immediate strategic direction. I analyze litigation dynamics, quantify success probabilities, and develop scenarios for settlements or continuations to restore management control over the proceedings.

How do you ensure confidentiality in highly sensitive special situations?

Discretion is the foundation of my work. By collaborating with an independent boutique consultancy, you create a protected space to discuss strategic options before they flow into broader committees or implementation by law firms.

Who is your consulting not suitable for?

Strategic Risk Sparring is not suitable for companies looking merely for operational legal representation or seeking to manage their risks purely qualitatively without statistical validation. It is also not a fit if there is no direct mandate from top management or if there is no willingness to critically question existing legal strategies. The service is ideal for decision-makers who demand absolute transparency and a methodically sound decision-making basis under high pressure.
