About Risk & Compliance
Lexis+ Risk & Compliance is an online practical guidance product for in-house legal and compliance teams dealing with the ever-increasing and ever-shifting burden of risk and compliance.
Risk management guides
Each guide identifies five key priorities for the area of risk, and gives a heads-up on why each is a priority area. The priority is explained in further detail, with a series of mini-checklists and action points.
Competition & antitrust law compliance

GDPR compliance
Practical guidance tools, registers, training aids and other templates to help you comply with data protection law and manage privacy risks
Regulation
Helping in-house counsel, privacy and compliance professionals manage the regulatory burden. GDPR, BA, MLR and plenty more, we've got it covered.

Association for Television on Demand
Association for Television on Demand (ATVOD): the UK’s co-regulator (with Ofcom) of video-on-demand content falling under the definition of 'on demand programme services' set out in the Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2009 and 2010. ATVOD’s statutory rules and accompanying non-binding guidance apply to any provider of on-demand programme services and are similar in content to the Broadcasting Code, dealing with (among other issues), harmful material (likely to incite hatred or affect under-18s), sponsorship and product placement.
Auction process letter
A letter setting out details of the auction process which is usually distributed by the corporate finance advisers to carefully selected potential buyers together with the information memorandum. Its purpose is to ensure that proposals for the acquisition of the target company/target business are provided in a timely manner and on a consistent basis. This in turn enables the seller to compare each proposal on a meaningful basis and to highlight any particular issues that the seller may have in completing the transaction in the time required (eg external and internal approvals and consents). It is not meant to solicit binding offers for the target company/target business.
