Regulatory advisory

When you operate in an industry where the rules of the game are set by a government agency rather than competitive market forces, having a sound regulatory roadmap can be as important as having the best product or the lowest cost base. Understanding both the regulatory specifics and the underlying drivers for their particular shapes and sizes is critical to mapping the long-term path of the industry and aligning your company's strategy with it.
