    The Strategic Alliance of the CCO and CLO – with Michelle Oroschakoff and Kate Ring
    2025/02/17
    In this special edition of the Protiviti Legal Perspectives podcast series, Protiviti Legal Consulting and Hedley May are joined by special guests Kate Ring, a Chief Compliance Officer, and Michelle Oroschakoff, a former Chief Legal Officer, who discuss the dynamic alliance between Chief Compliance Officers (CCO) and Chief Legal Officers (CLO) within the financial services sector and the symbiotic relationship that drives effective governance and risk management strategies within regulated industry. They address regulatory trends, emerging risks, and the role of technology in compliance.
    You should devote an adequate amount of resources to stay on top of what's happening. Legal will see things emerging maybe through litigation or regulatory action or customer complaints that the compliance department may not be aware of, and vice versa. Compliance may see things emerging through surveillance reports, exceptional reports that legal isn't aware of yet. Being able to share things helps both departments to identify risks and get in front of them. – Michelle Oroschakoff, Board Chair, Focus Financial
    If you're a lawyer on the legal team who's thought about going to compliance or you're in compliance and you're thinking about going to legal. I say, 'Go for it.' Find that opportunity and get that experience. – Kate Ring, Stash Financial

  • Advantages of Greater Legal and Compliance Collaboration – with Chad Volkert, Tom Giltrow and Kaitlin Kirkham-Cooper

    Advantages of Greater Legal and Compliance Collaboration – with Chad Volkert, Tom Giltrow and Kaitlin Kirkham-Cooper
    2025/02/17
    In a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape, the integration of compliance and legal functions has never been more crucial. In the latest installment of the Protiviti Legal Perspectives podcast series, podcast host Chad Volkert and Protiviti Managing Directors Tom Giltrow and Kaitlin Kirkham-Cooper delve into how legal and compliance departments can work in tandem to navigate the complex regulatory environments of the financial services and technology sectors. Our podcast guests share their insights on optimizing workflows, defining clear roles, and embracing a unified strategy for risk management. This episode is a must-listen for professionals seeking to enhance their organizational strategy through improved operational efficiency and partnership between legal and compliance roles.
    Compliance and legal often partner or share responsibility, identifying legal and regulatory changes, but then where some of those handoffs occur is actually on the implementation side. Thomas Giltrow, Managing Director
    There isn't always that clear risk or compliance line of defense, or that second line, in technology companies that we see within financial services. Some of the ambiguity or lack of definition is really a result of there not being a ton of prescriptive regulation in the regulatory environment, at least here in the US. Kaitlin Kirkham-Cooper, Managing Director
