Governance, regulatory & competition risk
A defensible position when the decision, regulator or market conduct risk matters.
I help boards, executives and operational teams organise the facts, clarify authority and move through governance, regulatory and competition-law issues with a practical response plan.
Typical matters
Bring me in when the issue is affecting a real decision or outcome.
- A board, committee or executive decision lacks a clear approval route.
- A regulator, authority or industry body has requested information or action.
- A pricing, distribution, dealer or competitor communication creates competition-law concern.
- An investigation or sensitive internal matter needs structure and controlled escalation.
- Policies, delegations or governance documents do not match actual operations.
- The business needs a coherent position across legal, finance, operations and external stakeholders.
What the business receives
Advice that can be explained, approved and implemented.
- A concise risk and decision memorandum.
- Clear authority, approval and conflict-management steps.
- A defensible response supported by organised evidence.
- Practical controls for competition, compliance and stakeholder communications.
- Draft board, committee, regulator or executive documentation.
Working approach
Commercial context first. Legal precision where it matters.
The engagement begins by identifying the decision, timing, stakeholders and consequences. The legal analysis is then directed toward the points that materially affect leverage, exposure, authority, delivery or exit.
The result may be a marked-up agreement, a negotiation position, a governance memorandum, a regulator response, an executive recommendation or direct support through implementation.
Frequently asked questions
Do you act only after a regulator contacts the business?+
No. Early review is often more valuable because it allows the business to organise evidence, correct process gaps and set a consistent position before escalation.
Can you assist with board and committee documents?+
Yes. Work may include charters, terms of reference, delegations, decision memoranda, conflicts procedures and implementation records.
Do you provide competition-law training?+
Yes. Training can be designed around practical risk areas such as pricing communications, dealer arrangements, competitor contacts, industry associations and information exchange.
