Practices

Regulatory

As the regulatory burden on both public and private sector organisations increases in the UK and internationally, ensuring compliance becomes even more critical for both business and regulators. 

Industries and professions that are heavily regulated face a dizzying array of regulatory compliance obligations.  Our work advising regulators and businesses operating in regulated industries ideally places us to advise such organisations, and we have the perspective, understanding and insight to provide commercial, practical advice and solutions for our clients.

We understand the importance of compliance for multinational businesses that are affected by increasingly stringent competition laws and EU legislation as well as the compliance burden public sector organisations face. We are familiar with the frameworks that public sector organisations operate in, their need to provide value for money to the taxpayer, and the need to maintain public confidence.

Our regulatory expertise combines public and administrative law, competition and anti-trust law and EU regulatory law along with public procurement law. We specialise in supporting a wide range of commercial organisations on regulatory matters and advise many statutory regulators and central government departments.

We work across a wide range of industries combining specialist regulatory expertise with an in-depth knowledge of the health and social care, sport, life sciences, energy, technology and telecommunications and transport sectors.

Our friendly attitude and down to earth approach mean we form strong relationships with our clients and their in-house legal teams, where we become trusted advisers rather than simply lawyers. 

Clients regularly praise our practical, commercial understanding and co-ordinated approach, and for us, what our clients think is what really matters.
