We handle our customers' personal data on their behalf — does that make us a data processor?

Quite likely, yes. That brings a specific set of contractual and operational obligations under UK GDPR — not onerous, but worth getting right rather than discovering them when a customer asks for a DPA.

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 Witney 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.

How we work

How a regulatory solicitor engagement runs.

Step 01
Initial scoping call
A short call to understand the business, the regulatory questions on your mind and where the pressure is genuinely coming from.
Step 02
Focused review
A targeted review of the contracts, processes or arrangements where the regulatory risk actually sits — not a sweeping audit.
Step 03
Written advice
Plain-English advice covering what applies, what doesn't, and what to do about it, with risks ranked clearly.
Step 04
Implementation support
Help with the practical follow-through — updated terms, internal sign-off processes or simple compliance documentation as needed.
