The pace of regulatory change is unprecedented, yet regulators still expect regulated firms to effectively track and implement new regulation.
This can be daunting, often requiring scarce resources to examine in minute detail a mass of text to understand not only the 'letter of the law' but also the scope and impact to the business. Even relatively straightforward reform can involve a significant risk of change needing to be managed.
We provide world-class advice and assistance on regulatory change – regardless of whether it needs to be implemented in many jurisdictions or only one. We generate clear, commercial and actionable insights for our clients in response to complex, dynamic and high-impact reforms.
