OUR FIRM

We provide clients with not only actionable advice,
but also effective implementation.

Founded in 2002, James Lam & Associates (JLA) is a boutique consulting firm singularly focused on risk management.

We work directly with corporate directors, CEOs, CROs, CFOs, CIOs, and other senior executives

to improve the effectiveness of their enterprise risk management (ERM) programs.

OUR APPROACH

Each client is unique. Our approach is customized based on the client’s industry,

business strategy, size, complexity, and risk management maturity.

 

Our service is distinctive in five important ways:

1.

We work only on risk management.

We do not work on anything else.

2.

We listen intently to our clients. Our work plans and deliverables are tailored to their needs.

3.

Our clients get results. We bring to bear our diverse boardroom, consulting, and industry experiences.

4.

We support our clients with practical implementation, leveraging a toolkit of best-practice examples, prototypes, and templates.

5.

Our President, James Lam, serves as the principal consultant on every engagement.
