We also provide niche legal research and regulatory mapping services to maintain the latest risk position across multiple jurisdictions globally.

Our on-shore and off-shore lawyers conduct legal research in a wide range of industries and jurisdictions across the globe. A trusted network of partner firms worldwide is used to provide local law advice and transactional support when needed.

With lawyers qualified in several jurisdictions, and speaking diverse languages, our teams have a strong sense of the international legal framework. We cover a broad range of regulatory and compliance requirements.

We also undertake compliance work in the intellectual property space including trademark and domain name infringement.

We are experienced in outsourcing existing in-house legal research teams in order to provide savings and improve quality.
