This guide provides approaches to persuade stakeholders to implement the in-house ethics framework in your organisation, using discretion to choose relevant elements.
Implementing certain elements, such as the protocol for employing organisations and the contract amendment letter, requires explicit buy-in from the organisation, often involving persuasion.
In-house solicitors are best placed to make the case for change by framing the conversation in terms that resonate with stakeholders, focusing on aligning ethical practice with the organisation's strategic goals, risk appetite, and culture.
Implementing some elements of the framework may require persuasion, particularly in organisations where legal and ethical considerations are sometimes seen as constraints rather than enablers.
