Legal risk is a concern for any good business, particularly those in the telecoms sector. Our recent survey, published in conjunction with the Economist Intelligence Unit, found that 91% of TMT board members expect legal and regulatory risk to stay the same or increase over the next two years. This percentage is the highest we have found of any sector, including mining, healthcare, finance, retail and oil & gas.
