Overview
Business is increasingly global in scope, with regulation more complex than ever. With some of the most distinguished practitioners in the country closely supporting the firm’s leading corporate and litigation groups, we bring clarity to regulatory, legislative and compliance matters in every sector our clients’ business takes them.
We guide clients through complex regulatory frameworks across markets and geographies. We regularly counsel clients on compliance matters, consumer protection and privacy issues—as well as on advisory matters including ESG initiatives, data governance and strategy. We also work closely with boards, giving them strategic advice to support them in a changing governance environment.
