We supply into a defence prime out of Milton Park — do we need our own regulatory advice or does theirs cover us?

Theirs almost never fully covers you. The prime will flow obligations down through the contract, and you remain responsible for meeting them at your tier. We can map the obligations, the gaps and the proportionate fixes.

Can you advise on industry-specific regulation?

We focus on the cross-sector commercial regulation that affects most growing businesses. For specialist regulatory regimes we'll either advise directly where we have the experience, or refer you to a trusted specialist — and say so honestly. Either way you get a clear answer fast.

Do you offer ongoing regulatory support?

Yes. Many clients use us as a regulatory sounding-board on a flexible basis — short calls and quick written input as questions arise, rather than a heavy retainer. It tends to work well for businesses that need responsive input without locking into ongoing fees.

How quickly can you turn around regulatory advice for a Abingdon business?

For most focused regulatory questions we provide an initial view within 3–7 working days. Genuinely urgent matters can usually be accelerated — please flag the timing pressure when you get in touch.
