Regulatory & Government Relations

Government policy and regulatory decisions can shape a business’s ability to enter markets, attract investment, develop technology, and grow. We advise companies, investors, and entrepreneurs on the requirements affecting their activities and help them engage constructively with public authorities. Our work connects legal analysis with an understanding of the commercial, technical, and policy context surrounding each business.

We advise on foreign investment screening, sanctions, export and import controls, data privacy and security, and sector-specific regulatory requirements. In a fast-changing international environment, developments in one jurisdiction can affect transactions, supply chains, ownership structures, and technology partnerships elsewhere. We help clients stay informed, assess the implications of important changes, and adapt their plans to address emerging requirements.

We have built strong connections with regulatory and government agencies, supporting our ability to help clients obtain important updates, identify appropriate points of contact, and communicate their objectives and concerns. We assist with regulatory due diligence, submissions, responses to government inquiries, and coordination with specialist advisors and local counsel. Our focus is on clear communication, informed engagement, and practical resolutions.

Government support can be important to a business’s establishment, resilience, and growth. We work with federal, state, provincial, and local levels of government in the United States and Canada to help clients understand available programs, identify funding and incentive opportunities, and navigate application processes. By aligning business objectives with relevant public programs and policy priorities, we help clients pursue resources and relationships that support their long-term development.
