A legal risk profile represents an assessment of potential legal challenges, liabilities, and regulatory exposures faced by an entity or project. This evaluation considers current laws, pending legislation, and enforcement trends across relevant jurisdictions. It helps organizations understand and mitigate adverse legal outcomes.
