This expertise often sees him working directly with businesses affected by government processes, investors seeking to better understand the potential or the risk of a dynamic regulatory environment, government bodies seeking to understand emerging trends and best practice, or other professionals where their deliverables are especailly complex due to government involvement or the need to seek regulatory clearances.
