Commercial Risk Management
Last reviewed: 18 October 2026
Risk grows faster than risk functions. As organisations add markets, counterparties and obligations, exposure hides inside contracts, spreadsheets and institutional memory. Yuzu ALSP builds and runs commercial risk management as an operating discipline rather than an annual report.
Senior professionals, ex-senior lawyers and executives among them, design the framework, then stay to run it: risk registers that people actually use, third-party risk reviews before counterparties are signed, and contract risk exposure mapped to revenue.
What it covers
- Risk appetite statements and governance frameworks
- Third-party and counterparty risk assessment
- Contract risk exposure analysis and monitoring
- Incident response and escalation protocols
- Board and ExCo risk reporting
Frequently asked questions
Is this a compliance function?
It is broader: compliance programme operations are one workstream inside commercial risk management.
Is this legal advice?
No; it is commercial governance. Matters requiring regulated legal advice sit with instructed solicitors.
What size organisation benefits?
Any organisation whose counterparties, contracts or markets have outgrown its internal controls.
Yuzu provides commercial risk management, legal operations and strategic advisory services. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal services or legal advice. Clients requiring regulated legal services should instruct a qualified solicitor or law firm.
