The task

Why do companies need legal registers? Also known as legal directories and legal registers, these systems create the basis for a legally compliant organization and are required by operational management systems. Legislation requires companies to comply with the relevant regulations.
However, legal certainty and legal compliance can only be comprehensively established if, on the one hand, all laws and regulations relevant to an organization are known and, on the other hand, are always up to date. For this purpose, it makes sense to keep a legal register. As a legal register, the legal register maps the relevant laws and regulations that affect an organization and is a good way of recording and managing the legal requirements of an organization in a structured manner and communicating them to the responsible employees.

The solution

We support the development and ongoing maintenance of individually created legal registers for the establishment of a legally compliant organization. The main focus is on avoiding organizational culpability, i.e. a breach of organizational duties or failure to comply with legal requirements for operational organizational measures. Tort law stipulates that liability or fault for damage that occurs within the sphere of an organization is attributed to the organization. This can also apply to the responsible managing director/board member. If damage occurs, the injured party is entitled to compensation.

Professional legal register avoids liability cases due to organizational negligence

Legal certainty / legal compliance

In terms of legal certainty and legal compliance to minimize business risk, it is now almost mandatory to maintain a professional legal register in order to avoid cases of liability due to organizational negligence. Especially as many management systems generally require "documented information" to ensure that all relevant provisions, legal obligations and other requirements are recognized and fulfilled within the company.

The SGA system

This results, for example, from the ISO 45001 standard (occupational health and safety management). The standard lists the legal obligations with relevance to the management system that an organization must fulfil. Among other things, the importance of compliance is pointed out for the management system for safety and health at work (SGA system). This is mentioned in the success factors as a key factor for implementing and maintaining an SGA management system in order to increase its effectiveness and ability to achieve its objectives. The intended results of an SGA management system thus include the fulfillment of legal obligations.

Legal register provides recommendations for action on the main operator obligations

The procedure

The legal registers we have developed can be used on a modular or scalable basis. This allows you to maintain a continuous overview of the legal bases, approval notices and other binding obligations relevant to your company - from the individual creation and regular updating of regulations to the review of internal implementation as part of a compliance audit. Based on an on-site analysis of your operational circumstances, our legal register provides you with the key operator obligations as recommendations for action - translated into practical terms for your employees. The option of delegating relevant regulations and implementation obligations to individual employees ensures transparency and promotes the necessary sense of responsibility.

Legal register as a form of risk management

In general, knowledge of the relevant regulations for ordinary business activities is one of the basic duties of every company management. The law makes no distinction between small and large companies. In addition, there are special obligations for management in environmental law, for example. With our legal register, we help to ensure that the company has all the necessary official permits and that existing permits are adapted to operational changes if the business is expanded or the production method is changed. In this way, we ensure that the management complies with all legal requirements and fulfills all binding obligations. As a form of risk management, a legal register can thus fulfill certain obligations of proper management and largely reduce liability risks. The basis for a legal register is always knowledge of how the company is affected by individual areas of law.
