Regulatory From overcoming regulatory complexity to competitive edge

Business is changing. Global shifts like AI, the data economy and ESG are impacting everything - from the way we act and work, to the way we expect businesses to operate. And with that, comes regulation. From generic, to industry-specific, or tech and application-specific regulation.

Our ongoing work with clients makes one thing clear: managing increasing regulatory complexity is a top priority for legal departments both now and in the future. We don’t view regulation as just another box to tick. We see it as a catalyst for transformation. We help you understand the interplay between different regulatory areas – enhancing efficiency and giving you a chance to innovate, rethink, and embrace new possibilities.

From cybersecurity and climate, to crypto and data, we’ll help you navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, turning compliance into a springboard for growth and supporting you on regulatory engagements in the broadest sense.

Our global group of regulatory experts is more than a team of legal advisors. Our experts bring a wealth of real-world experience, ensuring you’re not only meeting requirements but also seizing opportunities in all stages ranging from regulation in the process of development, business strategy, regulatory compliance and disputes.

You’ll have the support of specialists across industry sectors like Tech & Comms, Life Sciences and Healthcare, Energy & Utilities, the Financial Sector, Automotive, Retail & Consumer and Media & Sports and key practices such as Data Protection, Competition, Finance, Procurement & Projects and Trade & Customs. Giving you a fresh perspective that shows you the ‘whole picture’ of what regulatory change means to you, how to get permits and organise compliance in an effective and efficient way. We support you in regulatory disputes and litigation with competent authorities, NGOs, competitors and other third parties as well as civil disputes following from alleged non-compliance. Complemented by our project management, consultancy and legal tech expertise, we’ll help you drive transformation and achieve a competitive edge. Our diversity in expertise will keep you covered whether you're dealing with generic, industry-specific, or tech and application-specific regulation.

Our experts also help shape future regulatory frameworks by supporting clients, sector organisations and competent authorities in preparing, drafting and amending pieces of legislation on international (including EU), national and local level.

Let us help you focus on innovation and the unique value you bring to the market. With our expertise, you’ll be well-equipped not only to overcome regulatory challenges but to leverage regulatory complexity into opportunity.
