Regulatory Law
Overview
Regulatory law covers the set of laws, regulations, and administrative decisions that oversee economic and professional activities. Its goal is to protect public safety, financial integrity, and trust. This field ranges from company formation in regulated sectors to securing financial licenses, as well as complying with anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards.

They set clear rules to protect clients, prevent money laundering, and guarantee transparent practices. Without proper regulation, the risks of fraud, legal disputes, and loss of investor and user trust increase, which can harm both the business and its long-term reputation.

A: Failing to comply with regulatory law and local rules can lead to fines, lawsuits, or even the closure of the business. It also damages the company’s reputation and makes banks or business partners unwilling to work with it, limiting future opportunities.
A: Most rules are local, set by each country. However, there are global standards like those from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) that act as guidelines. As many countries build these standards into their regulations, compliance tends to have a worldwide impact.
