The Corporate Counsel Show: Being crisis-ready

More so than many sectors, construction has experienced myriad crises in recent years. In the face of such challenges, award-nominated legal counsel Omro Alansari has learnt the importance of making sure one is equipped to handle crises, if and when they arise.

In this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Omro Alansari, the group legal counsel at Ace Contractors Group, about his attraction to the construction sector and how he wound up working in-house in this space, the state of affairs for construction in recent years and why it has been so challenging for legal counsel, and what constitutes a crisis.

Mr Alansari also dives into the practical steps to take in order to make one’s self and the law department crisis-ready, how to triage those actions, managing one’s self personally as part of such actions, whether crises are still afoot for construction counsel, lessons he’s learnt about becoming crisis-ready, and what he knows about himself — both personally and professionally — that he didn’t before staring down various crisis-like situations.
