Use technology to analyse applicable laws and regulations globally

Reach actionable insights faster with our tech-enabled approach to surveys.

Case study

Challenge: The project’s scale and international reach, the number of jurisdictions it covers and their respective regulations, coupled with the very large number of external counsel firms involved.

Solution: AD&S provides end-to-end project management, helping the financial institution produce risk ratings in a clear, data-centric format. A dedicated project manager and lower-cost Belfast legal services team work together to efficiently manage and coordinate the large-scale submission and review process, underpinned by HighQ Collaborate (an advanced data room platform) enabling real-time status updates, data analysis and access to final survey responses.

A&O’s international network delivers trusted global reach

Through our network of over 40 A&O offices, and strong ties with over 400 relationship law firms, we first select the best local counsel for each survey.

The number of jurisdictions covered by A&O's international network represents more than 99% of the world's economy, making us one of the largest and most connected law firms in the world.

Our purpose built platform connects the chosen firms and workflows enable a seamless multi-team experience.

Digital questionnaires designed to deliver actionable insight

Our subject matter experts understand precisely the right questions to ask to return structured data that can be used to generate risk ratings for easy review.

Using a structured, digital template sets the bar for high-quality, consistent responses across all jurisdictions.

Management dashboards translate responses into easy-to-interpret risk ratings

A real-time dashboard summarises the status and risk ratings for each jurisdiction, providing a management level set of data across the project.

Data analysis is presented in a series of mobile responsive graphs and charts with quick links back to the underlying survey responses.

Bringing together people, process and technology

Cost-efficient review
