Some of these regulations affect all companies, regardless of industry or size. Other regulations affect specific industries or authorities.

In the area of Digital Compliance, we ensure seamless collaboration and full integration of legal competences and industry knowledge to create commercial, value-creating and innovative solutions for our clients in areas such as cyber and product security, privacy and consumer protection, resilience, security legislation and digital markets and access to and use of data.
