Regulated industry solutions

The business environment for regulated industries is increasingly being affected by international and national regulations that demand specialized knowledge. Deloitte Legal can bring that knowledge to help public and private clients operating in regulated sectors such as:

• Banking
• Insurance
• Telecommunications
• Transportation
• Life sciences
• Healthcare
• Energy
• Agriculture
• Construction
• Defense
• Postal services

As regulated industries require in-depth experience from both a business and legal perspective, Deloitte Legal works alongside other Deloitte colleagues with specialized experience in tax, consulting, accounting, and financial advisory to deliver practical advice from multiple viewpoints.

Regulatory requirements

Regulatory requirements and regulatory change often coupled with more demanding business needs are seen as major challenges to growth.

Deloitte Legal advises business worldwide in industries such as banking, insurance, construction, healthcare, telecommunications, postal services and transport and assists them in licensing, permitting and compliance matters. We also monitor and report on national and international legislative and policy developments and devise compliance programs tailored to individual client needs.

As leading global services providers, Deloitte Legal advisors and other Deloitte business professionals work closely on a regular basis and are well-connected with their colleagues around the world.

Reorganizations and restructuring in regulated industries

As a result of the current economic situation, reorganization and restructuring are high on the agenda of many businesses. These activities are particularly complicated when operating in a regulated environment and require specific industry or sector knowledge and expertise.

Deloitte Legal has extensive experience in the restructuring of businesses in regulated industries, particularly in the financial sector. Deloitte Legal assists private companies both with restructuring and reorganization in insolvency proceedings.

Deloitte Legal has practical and in-depth experience in corporate acquisitions in different industries. In addition to corporate restructurings we also advise business with other aspects of optimizing corporate legal processes.

Transacting with public sector entities

Over the past several years, public spending has been one of the main drivers of economic growth and development, and has been rising steadily in many countries worldwide. In jurisdictions where this remains the case the public sector is seen as a priority for many private businesses. Dealing with public entities requires a solid understanding of their operational landscape, of how public sector entities function, and of the impact of regulations on the collaboration with, between and within such organizations.

Deloitte Legal advises both public and private entities in setting up various forms of public-private collaborations including cooperation agreements, public procurement, concessions and outsourcing of public services as well as setting up public-private partnerships.

Deloitte Legal’s multidisciplinary approach and international presence are often regarded by clients, public and private, as key to supporting successful public/private relationships.
