ABOUT COMPLIANCE, LEGAL AND THE CONFLICTS RESOLUTION GROUP (CLC)

Compliance, Legal and the Conflicts Resolution Group (CLC) work at the intersection of finance and control functions, enabling the firm to conduct business with the highest level of integrity.

• The Conflicts Resolution Group (CRG) is a control function whose mission is to evaluate advisory, financing, principal investing, lending and certain other activities to identify actual or perceived conflicts of interest and assess the potential reputational risks resulting from the potential intersection among new and existing roles, positions and responsibilities that the firm may have.
