Regulatory
Burges Salmon has a cross-disciplinary Regulatory Practice Group. It operates by having units specialising in particular disciplines but working and training together to maximise the depth of resource available to clients.
Project and client teams are put together on the basis of client objectives, not internal demarcation.
Where an issue is subject specific (for example an environmental spillage or an appeal to the Competition Commission) the lawyers for our relevant unit will deal with it.
In situations where the client's need involves a blend of specialisms (for example litigation involving both environmental and safety risks) and/or a high level of resource to respond swiftly and knowledgeably (for example a large multi-site regulatory 'dawn raid') we can deploy an effective team to cover all bases.
Regulatory practice can require input at one or more levels:
- Policy - responses to draft legislation
- Strategy - impact on corporate governance and legal risk
- Operational - issue specific advice (competition, environment, health & safety)
- Emergency and Incident Response - criminal and civil law advice on a dawn raid or other investigation
In each of our specialist areas we are highly experienced at each of those levels.
