We're a deep-tech business selling internationally — how worried should we be about export controls?

Worth taking seriously, but workable. The right starting point is a focused mapping exercise: which of your products or capabilities sit inside the UK and US dual-use regimes, which customers and territories trigger additional checks, and what process you need internally to keep a defensible position. We can run that as a fixed-fee engagement.

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 Cambridge 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.

Deep-tech businesses commonly face export-control, dual-use and sanctions questions when selling internationally; these need to be mapped early, not at the point of a customer order.
