Regulatory risk

Regulation is increasingly pervasive for businesses operating in all sectors, both in the UK and internationally.

Davies Arnold Cooper has experience advising clients on all aspects of regulation, including compliance, regulatory investigations and disciplinary hearings. We take a proactive approach and help our clients pre-empt regulatory actions and risks by keeping abreast of changes to both UK and European law, as well as ensuring that compliance awareness is embedded within the organisation. We provide practical advice on both contentious and non-contentious matters to a wide variety of organisations in all sectors. We help our clients identify and mitigate any regulatory risks.

Financial

Our knowledge encompasses the entire regulatory spectrum including international, European and national financial regulation. We work closely with colleagues in our insurance and reinsurance group who advise many of the world's leading insurers, financial institutions, brokers and businesses on transactions in the insurance sector, as well as insurance regulatory matters throughout Europe and Latin America. Our team includes specialists who have spent part of their career working for the regulators.

Business Risks

We advise on health and safety, environmental issues, trading standards, product liability and safety. We offer a comprehensive service to deal with international and national regulatory risks. We assist in preparing answers to consultations by regulators, provide comment on impact assessments and cost benefit analysis, review existing compliance arrangements, offer risk management advice and reviews and provide disciplinary proceedings advice.

Our experience

Our experience in regulatory risk matters is diverse. We have advised financial institutions on the impact of regulations on their business to advising new businesses in a variety of industries about the impact of regulation on their business planning. We have also helped companies in many other industries, such as pharmaceutical, real estate, retail and sport organisations, to navigate the maze of regulatory issues.
