Political & Regulatory Risk Assessment
We assess political and regulatory risk to reveal exposure that can delay permits, increase costs or threaten project viability. Combining rules-of-law analysis, stakeholder mapping and scenario modelling, our reports recommend practical mitigations, engagement plans and contractual protections to de-risk investments across jurisdictions and policy cycles.
Process
Scope & context mapping
Define geographic footprint, regulatory regimes, project timeline and material policy drivers. Identify jurisdictional nuances, applicable permits and legislative calendars to set assessment depth and monitoring windows.
Stakeholder & institution analysis
Map government agencies, regulators, local authorities, political actors, financiers, NGOs and community influencers. Assess influence, incentives, recent interactions and likely positions that could affect approvals or operations.
Scenario modelling & impact quantification
Run downside/upside scenarios (permit delay, regulatory change, political unrest) and quantify schedule, cost and commercial impacts. Define trigger thresholds, probability ranges and near-term watchpoints for governance use.
Report & mitigation roadmap
Deliver an actionable report: prioritized risks, recommended engagement and lobbying approaches, contract clauses, compliance measures, insurance/financial mitigants and a monitoring cadence with early-warning indicators.
Policy & regulatory scan
Review applicable laws, permit pathways, compliance obligations, enforcement history and pending legislation. Identify interpretive risks, grandfathering issues, and regulatory thresholds that trigger enhanced oversight or approvals.
INSTRUMENT REVIEW – MT799, SBLC, BGS, BOND PROGRAMS
We verify MT799, SBLCs, guarantees and bond programmes for authenticity, enforceability, sanctions exposure, and counsel-ready compliance to de-risk transactions pre-close.
KYC / AML ENHANCED DUE DILIGENCE
Onsite due diligence, stakeholder interviews and forensic media analysis validate operations, reveal reputational, regulatory, community risks and deliver counsel-ready reports.
RED FLAG RISK RATING SYSTEM
Standardised, evidence-driven red-flag scoring across financial, legal, reputational, operational and compliance, producing weighted triage levels to prioritise investigations and remediation.
