Commercial and regulatory compliance

We help our clients manage commercial operations and compliance risk, and navigate the web of regulations and relationships that make up today’s business environment.

We solve a wide range of business needs for our clients from day-to-day advice on commercial problems, producing standard contracts, negotiating with new partners or customers, to more complex needs arising from transactions, business process outsourcing or contract disputes.

Beyond the usual commercial legal advice, our team has experience in creating innovative supply chain and tax structuring projects through close co‑operation with process improvement, logistics and tax experts in PricewaterhouseCoopers. These can involve migrating from a distributorship or agency model to a commissionaire or limited risk structure, or centralising business functions and developing shared service centres, or establishing new intra-group arrangements to achieve tax or operational efficiencies.

Our regulatory practice has a strong focus on data protection as well as the wider (and very topical) areas of retention and data security. Working closely with legal, security and data specialists within PricewaterhouseCoopers, we can provide in-depth experience with auditing, implementing and monitoring data management policies and practices as well as resolving compliance issues in transactions and major business change. We also help our clients with cross‑border compliance audits and policy reviews in a wide range of other risk areas including consumer protection, sales promotion and product liability.

As part of the extensive PricewaterhouseCoopers network of lawyers around the world, we can advise on multi-territory projects, including localising contracts and managing cross‑border legal risk.
