Bespoke regulatory services across global markets
Navigating Regulatory Challenges
What we can do
We are experts in the regulatory world. We understand regulators and how they think. We understand the challenges that regulators face and how that translates into challenges for regulated businesses, from business as usual situations to crisis management.
What this means for you
Regulation is pervasive. Businesses can sometimes find regulation counter-intuitive. We can help you get to the right approach and to the right answers efficiently and effectively.
Building Regulatory Relationships
What we can do
We have seen both sides of regulatory relations: from the regulator’s seat and building and managing regulatory relationships at major firms. This is not a relationship of equals, and we have seen what works well and – sometimes – what has worked less well. We understand how regulators react, and what they find useful. We understand how regulators differ between them and how one size does not fit all.
What this means for you
A good working relationship with the regulator is key. What constitutes a good working relationship will differ between firms. For some it will mean daily contact. For others, it may be a lot more distant. We can help set you up for success. We can also help you manage the relationship through periods of stress.
Regulatory Authorisations and Licences
What we can do
Authorisation is an important checkpoint for regulators to ensure that regulated firms are the ones that they want to see in their market. We partner with firms to develop their applications to ensure that the application is managed in the most effective and efficient way and that their strengths are clear. Where individual interviews are required, we will help prepare candidates.
What this means for you
The application process can be complex and demanding. For those doing it for the first time, it can feel strange and intrusive. You can benefit from our experience in understanding both the process and what is really important to regulators.
Regulatory Coaching and Insight
What we can do
We have extensive regulatory experience as policy makers, regulators and helping Boards and senior management deal with regulators. We bring that experience to bear for you, whether it is helping you understand the implications of regulation, preparing for regulatory reviews or interviews, helping you understand what the regulator is really looking for, or providing insight into policy developments and the potential consequences
What this means for you
Businesses have businesses to run. It can be difficult to stay on top of constant regulatory developments and evolving regulatory expectations as well as supervisory requests and demands. We can put our expertise at your service.
