The situation
For a multinational telecommunications group operating in Germany with its own network operations, publications by authorities, ministries and courts had to be monitored continuously across numerous areas of law. What mattered was not only the individual item of news, but its relevance to the company and its classification within the existing regulatory development.
Our approach
We established monthly regulatory monitoring with semi-automated research and legal quality assurance. It covers Telecommunications and Technology, Data Protection and Retention, Asset Protection, Environment and Real Estate, Labour and Employment, Encryption, Artificial Intelligence, ESG and AI Copyright. Relevant news is summarised concisely, assessed for the company and editorially linked with earlier developments – from the first draft through to the enacted statute. Where there is a concrete need for action, an individual detailed review follows.
The result
Broad early detection
Nine topic areas relevant to the company are monitored continuously against public primary sources.
Clear relevance assessment
Each development is classified concisely in terms of its significance for the telecommunications business.
Traceable lines of development
New publications are linked with earlier drafts, decisions and legislative steps.
