Enterprise Risk Management Services Evolve From Compliance to Resilience

ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research finds law firms entering the risk services market

New York, NY – January 14, 2021– New research from ALM Intelligence finds the market for enterprise risk management (ERM) services evolving from a compliance-focused discipline to a management solution for strengthening organizational resilience. In ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research: Enterprise Risk Management 2020, the strategies and service offerings of 14 providers identified as Market Leaders by the ALM Pacesetter Advisory Council are assessed for their ability to deliver client impact in today’s challenging business environment. The research also provides insights into the competitive dynamics and service delivery trends, driving convergence across insurance, legal, management consulting, and technology services markets.

“The business case for enterprise risk management has never been stronger,” says Liz DeVito, Associate Director and ALM Intelligence Pacesetter Research Analyst. “The events of 2020 have dramatically expanded the risk profile for every organization worldwide, and the uptake of ERM is accelerating at pace. Providers are responding with new frameworks and technologies to deliver tangible outcomes and strengthen resilience.”

Research Highlights

• Providers designated as an ALM Intelligence Pacesetter treat enterprise risk as a transformation lever and have developed sophisticated frameworks to embed ERM into clients’ business models, operations, and culture
• Law firms are a growing presence in the enterprise risk services market as they respond to the call for General Counsels to provide strategic risk advice to C-suite and board executives
