An analysis of existing and upcoming laws and regulations is an important basis for determining an influence strategy. With the right legal knowledge and expertise, this is of great added value. Our specialists within the regulatory team at Publieke Zaken bring the European and national regulations applicable to your projects into focus.

Initial analysis

The initial analysis covers policy and regulatory frameworks, and is designed to clearly identify the opportunities and constraints for your projects and associated value chains. The legal analysis is thus an essential part of a successful, integrated public affairsstrategy and gives you the right starting points in your discussions with the government.

Review, draft and rewrite bills and amendments

When policy is incorporated into legislation, our lawyers can assess (legislative) proposals and amendments and make very concrete text proposals, with an eye for both the main line and the details.

Implementation of EU regulations

We also keep a close eye on upcoming regulations from Brussels, so that you can respond in a timely manner to the negotiations that the Netherlands is conducting in Brussels on future legislation (based on so-called bnc sheets) and the integration of European policy (fit-for-55, Green Deal, REPowerEU) and implementation of European legislation, including directives, in the Netherlands.

Support from attorneys and lawyers

Because we have an in-depth and up-to-date overview of energy and climate policy and regulatory developments, our team also advises in mergers and acquisitions (M&A, political due diligence) and is a sparring partner for law firms, both in advisory processes and in legal proceedings.

If you want to make an acquisition, but are unsure of the risks and opportunities that (current and upcoming) laws and regulations entail for the company you want to acquire, we can advise you on this. In legal proceedings, Publieke Zaken can assist with stakeholder and reputation management, describing the political playing field and policy frameworks, and in the area of communications, among other things.
