Regulatory Strategy & Licensing

The increasing number of regulations and the resulting operational burden lead our clients to demand tailored advice on how to practically meet new regulatory requirements and how to comply with them on an on-going basis.

In any regulated entity’s life cycle, it is inevitable to be confronted to change, due to regulation or to operational or group constraints.

The need for adaptation to a new regulatory environment is crucial whatever the type of change: a simple change of regulation at national level or a change of activity which will bring your entity into a complete new territory.

Understanding and managing such change can be disruptive to many.

Our aim as a regulatory advisory company is to be your partner of choice for seamless regulatory transition. Our regulatory consulting expertise driven by Arendt Regulatory & Consulting S.A. (ARC) provides a range of regulatory advisory services, organised under two main headings:
