Risk & Regulatory Advisory

Compliance that works.
We don’t write long memos. We build compliance that holds up - in audits, in practice, and under pressure.

We’re not a law firm. We’re your strategic partner and ally — with deep regulatory insight, practical experience, and a clear understanding of how businesses operate locally and across multiple regions.
‍
We’ve been on the inside and as former regulators, we know how policy is made, how it’s enforced, and what actually matters when things go wrong.

Our Approach: Practical. Strategic. Holistic.
When regulatory or geoeconomic pressure builds, you don’t need a 40-page legal opinion.
‍
You need a partner who can translate solutions into action, locally and regionally — fast.

That’s where we come in. We work side by side with in-house teams to turn regulatory complexity into operational clarity. Our support is grounded, actionable, and built for the real world.
‍
Our clients value discretion, clarity, and results that actually work in the real world.

We are engaged by leading global law firms and selected over established international consultancies for our regional depth, executional focus, and ability to work seamlessly across both strategic and operational levels.

Compliance isn’t theoretical — and neither are the consequences.

Case Study

A Global Law Firm (Confidential Client Engagement)

Preemptive Crisis Management and Operational Resilience

Challenge
A major international law firm sought strategic compliance advice for a prominent global client in the events and exhibition space. The concern: reputational and regulatory risk exposure tied to potential sanctions issues at a high-profile event. The event involved exhibitors and sponsors from various jurisdictions, some with known sanctions risks, and the client needed a clear, defensible approach to managing liability and public scrutiny.
‍
Our Approach
We were engaged to provide a comprehensive analysis of Singapore’s sanctions regime, with a particular focus on reputational risk, operational liability, and brand protection. Our advisory team assessed exposure under Singapore laws and evaluated potential sanctions triggers based on beneficial ownership, payment structures, and exhibitor activities.

The client selected us for our ability to combine insight, regulatory fluency, and strategic communications awareness with a clear understanding of Singapore’s enforcement posture.

The company also aimed to align its senior leadership and operational teams with both tools and response strategies to ensure stakeholder trust and business continuity.

Our Approach
We engaged to lead a risk advisory engagement focused on building end-to-end organisational readiness. This included developing a tailored Dawn Raid Response Plan, delivering targeted training to C-Suite leaders, and conducting scenario-based workshops for site and regional teams. The client selected us over an established global firm based on our regional insight, practical approach, and ability to engage at both strategic and operational levels.

Case Study

Fortune 500 Company

Leadership Alignment & Internal Investigations

Challenge
The client, a Fortune 500 company with operations across Asia and Australia, faced growing challenges in managing internal investigations related to business integrity, workplace grievances, and whistleblower complaints. Despite a capable leadership team, the organisation lacked a consistent and regionally aligned approach resulting in duplicated efforts, and investigations that were repeated due to concerns from the parent company over robustness and quality.
‍
Our Approach
We were engaged to deliver executive-level training to align senior leadership across regions around a consistent, risk-aware response framework. We moved beyond basic compliance awareness, focusing instead on strategic decision-making, reputational risk scenarios, and actions aligned with the company’s brand integrity and global challenges.
‍
What We Delivered
‍

Customised training for C-Suite and senior leaders across Asia and Australia using real life cases
Strategic guidance on navigating internal investigations with decisiveness and integrity
Risk frameworks tailored to meet high-pressure, multi-market environments

Impact
The engagement equipped senior leaders with a unified, risk-aware approach to handling sensitive compliance matters and internal investigations to reduce cost duplication, improving coordination, and strengthening reputational protection across jurisdictions. Following the success of our assistance, we are in ongoing discussions to support the client in scaling these practices more broadly across the organisation.
