Permits, enforcement and supervision

More and more industries face a tight framework of rules that companies must comply with. These rules are becoming increasingly complex, making it not always easy to comply with all of them. It is also common for rules from different government agencies to contradict each other.  

 

Regulatory compliance, in addition to being more complex, is becoming increasingly important. Not only for enforcement with, for example administrative fines or an order under penalty payments, but also because the extent to which you have complied with the regulations for more and more permits is important in assessing whether you can be granted a permit.  

 

Part of the assessment framework these days is not only the quality of your company or business plan but also whether you are of good character and whether you have been approved by the Public Administration Probity Screening assessment. This assessment framework appears in more and more permits, subsidies and tenders these days. 

 

Therefore, it is increasingly a strong competitive advantage if you are equipped with the right legal support to avoid revocation of your license or rejection of a license application.
