The Ropes & Gray Insights Lab is a differentiated solution for corporate governance and risk in complex business environments. Combining legal talent and subject matter experts in compliance, data, culture, and behavioral science, we help clients assess risk, map organizational culture impacting that risk, design and retool compliance programs, and implement actionable insights from qualitative and quantitative data.
A Different Approach
We don't treat compliance and culture as exclusively legal, regulatory or enforcement exercises. We recognize that they are also deeply human ones.
With this in mind, we help our clients elevate their programs by using data and behavioral science to engage employees, measure risk and outcomes, and shape behaviors and culture.

How We Do It
We make decisions based on data and evidence, not assumptions. At the Lab, we help companies:
- Understand and prioritize their data;
- Use their data to find signals within the noise;
- Spot trends to identify emerging risk;
- Visualize their data so insights are instantly accessible; and
- Use their data to tell stories about culture and risk.
People are complex; and we are shaped by the cultural contexts in which we are immersed. We use insights from the social sciences to help our clients:
- Assess culture and equity using quantitative and qualitative methods;
- Design user-centered solutions;
- Measure whether culture and compliance initiatives are effective;
- Train employees using cutting edge methods to ensure adult learners understand and retain information; and
- Shift behaviors to foster compliant and inclusive workplaces.
At the core of everything we do is a commitment to creativity and curiosity. The Lab consists of a diverse group of artists, scholars, and thinkers (some of whom just happen to be lawyers); and we think outside of the traditional boxes in our search for better ways.
Our interdisciplinary team of unique thinkers, problem solvers, and doers is ready to work through whatever challenges you are facing. Let's talk about the solutions we can build together.
