Are we still treating risks as individual challenges? One of the themes I found most interesting in our Corporate Risk Radar 2026 is the growing recognition that risks don't operate in silos. Organisations are becoming more confident in their risk management capabilities, thanks to investment in governance, technology and oversight. But the reality is that today's risks are increasingly connected. A regulatory change can create global implications. Geopolitical tensions can affect everything from supply chains to workforce planning. Technology risks rarely stay within the technology function. Success will depend not just on identifying individual risks, but on understanding how they interact, overlap and amplify one another. I was delighted to contribute to this year’s report. Worth a read for anyone thinking about the challenges and opportunities ahead: https://lnkd.in/dMh9FdYy Clyde & Co

🍁As a Vancouver native, being called to the British Columbia Bar in 2013 marked the beginning of a career that has been shaped by incredible mentors, colleagues, and clients. My name is Lindsay Williams and over the past five years in Clyde & Co's Vancouver office—following our office integration—I’ve had the opportunity to build a practice I’m truly passionate about, now as a partner at Clyde. As part of our Trial & Defense team, I focus on insurance defense litigation, with an emphasis on complex casualty claims and professional liability. My work spans a broad range of matters, including occupier’s liability, social and commercial host liability, product liability, and personal injury litigation, along with construction deficiency, employment-related issues, and property damage claims. I take a practical, results-oriented approach and enjoy working closely with clients to help them navigate risk and resolve challenging disputes. What has made this journey particularly meaningful is the culture at Clyde & Co. We have a strong reputation in the industry, but it’s truly our people and shared values that set us apart. The collegiality, collaboration, and commitment to excellence here are incredibly important to me. Beyond my client work, I’ve been fortunate to be involved in our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion initiatives and student programs—areas I care deeply about, especially when it comes to supporting and mentoring the next generation of legal talent. I’m grateful for the support of my colleagues and clients, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the strength of our Vancouver team and the firm as a whole in this next chapter 📚

“To Risk or not to risk..that is the question..” In a summer that follows a year of complex decisions for any organization across the globe, some people prefer to indulge in entertainment and distractions, however others (guess who is in such category?), take this end of July as an opportunity to reflect on what the events and circumstances that have changed our world imply so we can manage and learn from them.. The more complex organisations become, the harder it is to separate operational, technology and people risks. A new system rollout, for example, can affect teams, processes, budgets and often wider transformation programmes happening at the same time. Resilience should be less about managing individual risks and more about understanding the connections between them. When one part of a business changes, there's usually a knock-on effect somewhere else. The challenge for leaders is maintaining that broader view while still moving the business forward. It's an area explored in Clyde & Co Corporate Risk Radar 2026, where business leaders identified technology implementation, skills shortages and transformation delivery as some of the most significant operational challenges facing organisations today.
