Regulatory Affairs

It can be hard to take care of bureaucratic issues while one basically should concentrate on sales and/or the development of the core markets. Especially the often abstract authority language can cause issues and – in the worst case – can lead to results nobody wanted.

Therefore, it could be helpful to assign certain legal and regulatory tasks to somebody who is familiar with typical “officialese” and can communicate with authorities in their language.
