F&P’s 2025 General Counsel Checklist

---

Every business decision invites risk into the organization. A checklist helps company leadership accurately catalog, assess, and reduce that risk exposure.

Fogel & Potamianos LLP (“F&P”) has identified 90 risk factors for privately held middle market companies, as outlined F&P’s 2025 General Counsel Checklist. To this end, we recommend a periodic, standing meeting to cover these factors, as well as upcoming plans on the horizon.

What’s new in the 2025 GC Checklist: F&P Revised the 2023 GC Checklist to reflect current trends facing private companies.

The 2025 version includes:

• Tariffs, Supply Chains & Duty Mitigation Strategies
• Financial Controls & Checks
• Secondary Sales
• Choice of Law Considerations
• Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act)
• Updated Privacy Regulations
• Updated Litigation Trends
• Corporate Transparency Act

The 2025 GC Checklist is a starting point, and not the ending point, for private companies. You may download the F&P 2025 GC Checklist here.
