AECOM Senior Vice President, Legal, and General Counsel Nancy Laben will participate in a moderated keynote session at the 2012 Global Ethics Summit, March 15-16, in New York City.

News

In the Friday, March 16, session, “A Conversation with Leading Chief Legal Officers: Risks, Opportunities and What Keeps You Up at Night,” Laben and fellow participants will discuss the evolving role of the legal team within corporations and the next potential challenges in terms of risk, including in the area of mergers and acquisitions.

Laben also participated in the 2011 Global Ethics Summit, offering her perspective on how compliance professionals can work with their colleagues in business operations to drive successful ethics and compliance programs. 

According to Laben, “Anticipating and mitigating risk is a function of translating the compliance ‘tone from the top’ into concrete action across the organization.  That requires competing for and winning the necessary mindshare among our employees; keeping ethics and compliance programs fresh and relevant to ensure continued organizational interest and awareness; and demonstrating the implications and consequences of improper acts — as well as the benefits to the business of operating ethically and with integrity.”
