Regulatory and Compliance

Overview

Our focus is to minimise and manage material legal risk for our clients’ businesses

All businesses are subject to various layers of regulation, whether general or industry specific. It is essential to understand the regulations that affect your business and to implement appropriate measures to ensure compliance.

This can be achieved in a variety of ways, including policies and procedures, employee training to ensure your team is up to date with regulatory changes, regular monitoring and audits, and ensuring your contracts are compliant.

Within the regulatory and compliance services on offer to our clients, our focus is to minimise and manage material legal risk to clients’ businesses. We work closely with those clients’ technical experts to achieve that, including negotiating with regulators and governing bodies.

Data Protection

The regulatory requirements for managing personal data are vast and we work with our clients to navigate the complex landscape of data protection. Whether it is advising on changes to the regulations, or developing data protection policies and procedures, or preparing contracts which are data protection compliant, we take the time to understand the specific needs and objectives of our clients and tailor our services to meet those.

Digital and Internet businesses

For digital and internet businesses the challenge is how to thrive and remain compliant with rapidly evolving legal standards, in the dynamic online environment. We assist businesses in understanding and complying with regulations relating to consumer protection, data privacy, cybersecurity, ecommerce, intellectual property, and digital communications. We will draft and review terms of service, privacy policies, and other legal documents crucial for online operations based in the UK, as well as offer guidance on regulatory frameworks, including GDPR, to ensure our clients’ businesses handle user data responsibly.

Food Safety and Environmental

We have extensive experience advising businesses in the food and drink industry and we work with our clients to ensure they comply with food safety regulations, labelling requirements, and environmental regulations relating to food and beverage production and waste. Product recalls can have significant legal, financial, and reputational implications for a business, and we provide valuable support to deal with the fallout from those.

Financial Services

There are a multitude of businesses of all shapes and sizes in the financial services industry, which continues to develop and expand in response to new technologies and methods of working, especially outsourcing. Each of these businesses is different in their offering to the market, but the constant thread is the requirement to achieve good customer outcomes, as demanded by the regulators. We are well placed to help regulated businesses, including, suppliers and outsourcers, meet their strategic goals, and manage their legal and regulatory risk.

Health & Safety

We offer health & safety support services to all sizes and types of business, including providing crisis support, audit and inspection services, fire risk assessments, and bespoke training.
