01Regulatory interpretation and assessment
Examine the legal framework relevant to a defined activity or proposed course of action. Identify applicable requirements, areas requiring further interpretation and the questions that need to be resolved.
02Policy and legislative analysis
Assess proposed laws, rules and policy instruments, including their structure, intended operation and implications. Work with economic and regulatory colleagues to examine how a proposal may function in practice.
03Consultations and representations
Support the development of legally grounded submissions and responses. Connect the client's position with relevant provisions, evidence and a clear explanation of the issue to be addressed.
04Commercial arrangements and governance
Review the legal considerations around defined business arrangements, responsibilities and governance structures. Help clients understand the choices and documents needed to support an agreed approach.
05Technology and information governance
Work alongside the Technology Consulting practice on legal questions arising from data use, technology arrangements and the introduction of AI-enabled workflows. Define the issue before recommending the appropriate form of review.
Analysis shaped for the next step.
Depending on the agreed scope, an engagement can produce:
01Legal issues paper
02Regulatory obligations map
03Review of proposed provisions
04Consultation drafting support
05Governance review
06Legal workstream within a policy engagement
The engagement defines the applicable jurisdiction, the nature of the advice, the documents to be reviewed and responsibility for subsequent action. Specialist matters can be scoped separately.
Distinct perspectives.
A coordinated response.
Some policy questions require legal interpretation alongside an assessment of how markets or institutions operate. Meghana Agarwal and Kartik Berry work together where the engagement calls for both.
