Nos avocats travaillent étroitement avec les régulateurs nationaux (Direction du Trésor en France, Autorité des Marchés Financiers, Financial Conduct Authority notamment) et les autorités de régulation des pays dans lesquels nous avons des bureaux, et assistent sur le plan technique ou pour du lobbying les organisations professionnelles (telles que l'EVCA à Bruxelles, l'AIMA à Londres et à Paris, ainsi que l'AFG ou l'AFIC en France).
