Regulatory Review & Legal Analysis
Analysis of an industry/ project may require an assessment of applicable law, legal requirements, licensing, permits, court cases, company status, contracts and contractual relationships. Either as a stand-alone assessment or as part of a wider economic analysis, we conduct legal research and assessments based on investigation of the law/legal aspects relating to the project.
In most cases, legal research adds particular value to risk and compliance while contributing to an overall understanding of industry or role player conditions. We answer questions such as: what is being done, what is allowed, what needs to be done, where is non-compliance, what is required to enter an industry and where are the pitfalls?
Due diligence and the research it entails allows for a better understanding of the target business, industry or jurisdiction. This leads to more effective decision making, risk management and project planning.
