TREND 01

Cross-regulation enforcement is the new normal

Single incidents now trigger parallel investigations under GDPR, NIS2, AI Act and sector regulations. Authorities coordinate; defendants need a single story.

TREND 02

Management body accountability has moved up the stack

NIS2 Article 20, DORA management body obligations, and AI Act human-oversight design all put named individuals on the hook. Board briefings are now operational, not optional.

TREND 03

Sector guidance changes faster than the law

EDPB, EBA, AI Office and national authorities publish guidance monthly. The law text changes annually, but operational obligations shift with each guidance update.

08 / FAQ

Common questions.

01Why not just use our existing law firms?+

Law firms produce excellent legal opinions. They do not run the operational compliance programme. Our retainer covers the operational layer: policy stack, records, risk register, supervisory liaison, board reporting. We coordinate with your law firm on contested matters.

02How do you handle regulations we are not yet subject to?+

The horizon scan tracks draft legislation and national transpositions. We flag the date of likely applicability, the scope test, and the operational impact. You get the runway to plan, not a surprise.

03How do you avoid duplication with our existing compliance teams?+

We integrate. Your internal team owns the day-to-day. We provide oversight, multi-regulation strategy, horizon scanning, and senior cover for complex matters. Engagement letter defines the handoff points.

04Do you cover non-EU regulations?+

We cover EU and EEA regulations directly. For UK, Switzerland, and EU-adjacent jurisdictions, we coordinate with local counsel. US, APAC and other non-EU regulations are out of scope.

05How do you support a supervisory investigation?+

We coordinate the response, prepare evidence, brief executives, and attend meetings. For complex matters involving multiple regulations, we run the cross-regulation defence strategy and coordinate with your law firm.

06Can the retainer cover multiple legal entities?+

Yes. Group structures with multiple entities and jurisdictions are standard. We map entity-by-entity obligations, define group reporting cadence, and coordinate the single point of contact with supervisory authorities.
