Regulation: You've nothing to fear
Our in-house experts are unrivalled in tackling regulatory and policy change and helping you identify the risks and opportunities ahead.
/ Our approach
If you’re a financial services business, it’s likely you are concerned about regulatory intervention at least some if not most of the time.
This might be a positive or a negative. Maybe you see an opportunity where your organisation wants to shape regulation. Or perhaps you’re anticipating a potential threat to your business and want to mitigate any regulatory risk.
Maybe you’re expecting a change to tax policy, or you’re worried about the government or other policymakers intervening in your market in a certain way.
Wherever your starting point, it’s the job of the lang cat’s regulatory and public affairs team to help you identify and devise a strategy that tackles all that.
Our work with clients is about understanding the risks your business is concerned about, the opportunities you want to capitalise on, and providing a way through any issues or regulatory change you want to be on top of. Our regulatory tracker service is a big part of that. And if there are particular campaigns you want to fight, we can help with that too.
The way the lang cat has grown over time means we also understand how public affairs, insight and communications come together to influence industry debate.
When approaching projects, we’ll work through some key questions.
Who are the key stakeholders? Where is potential change coming from? How can we engage with those stakeholders and those market influences? What are the consultation papers that are coming out? What are the possible pieces of legislation that are going through? Which people do we need to get hold of to have those conversations with?
We’ll then put together the arguments in ways that will resonate with policymakers to make them say: “Yes, this is something we want to take on board.”
