Government Regulatory Advisory
We support public entities in preparing and applying laws and regulations, and in privatisation and public-private partnership programmes.
Public entities need clear regulatory frameworks that can be applied and monitored. We advise on preparing and reviewing draft laws, regulations and policies; on establishing authorities and state-owned companies and organising their governance; and on the legal aspects of privatisation and public-private partnership projects, in line with national priorities.
