A Swiss-based association representing over 90 Swiss and foreign multinationals approached us to improve its understanding of policy developments impacting its members at EU level.

Our programme of support comprised regular monitoring reports on a broad range of policy and regulatory developments related to financial sustainability; monthly calls to discuss the main developments and big policy trends as well as advise on their members’ concerns;
and ad hoc notes, updates and visits to the client’s headquarters in Geneva to present the latest developments in the EU and advise members on the next regulatory steps.

Our monitoring and advice helped the client – and its members – be better prepared for the regulatory and legislative actions that Switzerland is in the process of assessing or is likely to implement in the future.

A global provider of financial news, market insights and analysis approached us regarding the revision of the EU’s anti-money laundering (AML) rules and their impact on its core offering of risk and compliance solutions for banks, lawyers, real estate agents falling under the scope of the EU’s AML rules. 

Our support for the client included monthly monitoring reports, covering a broad range of topics, including AML, ESG and sustainable finance; ad hoc updates on major policy developments; monthly calls, including senior counsel to discuss legislative developments, as well as provide strategic advice; meetings with key policymakers engaged in AML legislation in the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Member States. We also helped set up and facilitate an informal coalition of like-minded financial data companies.

Our support enabled the client to advocate on the important role service providers play in the fight against financial crime. Furthermore, by identifying allies, we were able to further amplify the industry’s voice in Brussels. Alliance members have held exchanges of views with prominent stakeholders in the European Commission, European Parliament and Member States, engaging with a unified industry voice which enhances the weight and relevance of their industry views.

A Nordic bank sought strategic intelligence on political, policy, legislative and regulatory developments impacting the banking sector both at EU level and in their key Nordic markets.

In cooperation with our offices in Sweden and Denmark, our support for the client included monitoring of developments in Sweden, Denmark, and the EU, with an extra focus on the Swedish Council Presidency; regular strategic advice sessions with our Senior Advisors and on Banking and Capital Markets Union proposals, the EU implementation of Basel III standards, securities markets regulations, digital finance and the digital euro, sustainable finance, AML and EU funding opportunities.

Our support enabled the client to have a better understanding and stay up to speed on the most important developments impacting them at national and EU-level.
