Test your judgement and uncover the legal, financial and reputational consequences of business decisions gone wrong.

Operational pressures, labour shortages, rising costs and compliance obligations can place significant strain on a business. But when shortcuts are taken or risks go unmanaged, the consequences can extend far beyond the workplace.

Join us for an interactive Mock Court experience that follows a manufacturing business facing mounting commercial and workforce pressures. Through a realistic workplace incident, you'll see how everyday decisions can escalate into serious consequences, from legal to financial and beyond.

As the case unfolds, participants will work through key decision points, test their own judgement and explore the practical actions that can help prevent risk before it becomes a crisis.

Gain practical insights into:

  • Identifying workplace and operational risks before they escalate
  • Leadership decision-making under pressure
  • Workplace safety and compliance obligations
  • Contractor, labour hire and workforce management risks
  • Accountability when things go wrong and who may be held responsible
  • The potential financial, legal and reputational impacts of getting it wrong
  • Building a stronger risk management and safety culture

More than a legal case study, this is a practical business learning experience that will strengthen your decision-making and help protect your organisation from costly mistakes.

Facilitators:

  • Andrew Douglas | Managing Director, FCW Lawyers
  • Tanya Maithani | Legal Operations Head, FCW Lawyers
