Regulatory
Economic activities are increasingly governed by authorization, licensing, and regulatory compliance regimes, particularly in the financial, technology, and service sectors.
The structuring, launch, and operation of a project often depend directly on obtaining and maintaining administrative or regulatory authorizations, which determine not only the possibility of carrying out the activity, but also its economic value and competitive advantages.
A rigorous legal analysis and anticipation of applicable requirements are crucial for project security and business continuity.
