Linklaters launches Linklaters Law Compare

Linklaters is pleased to launch Linklaters Law Compare in conjunction with Single Rulebook, a digital platform for managing regulatory rules. The product is an innovative tool highlighting how the EU and UK rulebooks for financial services are diverging post-Brexit. This unique tool provides a single authoritative source of the most up-to-date regulation and guidance for both the EU and UK MiFID II regimes, with the potential to extend to other areas of regulation.

The EU and UK set similar rules for financial markets but, as these regimes evolve, the difference between them is increasing. Businesses interacting with both regimes have to keep on top of this regulatory change. Linklaters Law Compare has been designed to help navigate this challenge as it provides a comprehensive view of both regimes alongside insight from Linklaters’ subject matter experts.

Key benefits of this new tool include:

• the ability to follow the regulatory development process with live tracking of increasing divergence;
• quick and efficient within-regime and cross-regime comparison;
• commentary provided by Linklaters and the ability to share views within your own team;
• powerful and dynamic rule maps enabling you to work more efficiently with regulations; and
• traceability in regulatory decision-making across your organisation, saving time and costs.

Our interactive and collaborative tool has been developed by Single Rulebook, an integrated software solution that helps users search, share and manage regulatory rules on one digital platform. Single Rulebook is a Kaizen Reporting Company.

Pansy Wong, Financial Regulatory Partner at Linklaters:

“I am thrilled to be launching this innovative product which is truly market-leading in its capability and offering. Linklaters Law Compare offers a valuable collaborative solution with a better overall user experience when navigating regulatory divergence across the EU and UK.

We believe this technology will form a crucial part of legal compliance toolkits post-Brexit. This tool is further evidence of our commitment to helping our global clients to stay ahead of a rapidly changing regulatory framework in the EU and UK.”

Chris Dingley, CEO of Single Rulebook commented:

“We are delighted to have joined forces with Linklaters to launch Law Compare, a new regulatory comparison tool, on our platform. The new tool provides Linklaters’ clients with a dynamic comparison of diverging EU and UK regulation, as well as changes in regulatory texts over time. Combining Linklaters’ legal and regulatory expertise with our award-winning technology and platform creates a unique solution for managing regulatory change.”
