Regulatory Consulting
Short engagements, defined deliverables, expert positioning
I work on complex or high-stakes CE compliance matters: a product challenged by a market surveillance authority, a due diligence ahead of investment, a technical file to consolidate before market placement. All my engagements are short, scoped, and deliverable-oriented.
CE Compliance Audit
Duration: 3–5 days — Deliverable: Structured audit report
Critical analysis of the technical file against applicable directives and relevant harmonised standards. Identification of gaps, assessment of their materiality, and prioritised recommendations for remediation.
Relevant for: manufacturers preparing for market placement, companies facing a request from a surveillance authority, or any actor wishing to validate the robustness of their file before submitting it to a notified body.
Regulatory Product Due Diligence
Duration: 2–4 days — Deliverable: Regulatory risk memo
Assessment of the regulatory risk exposure of a product portfolio in a M&A, investment or industrial partnership context. Analysis of declared compliance, identification of actual exposures, risk prioritisation.
Relevant for: PE or VC funds with industrial or deeptech holdings, transaction advisory firms, in-house M&A teams needing an independent technical opinion on a target's CE compliance position.
Pre-Litigation Technical Support
Duration: 2–5 days — Deliverable: Argumentative technical note
Building the technical position in a dispute or conflict involving product regulatory compliance: authority enforcement action, challenge to an audit result, buyer-supplier dispute over a non-conformity.
Relevant for: lawyers (product liability, consumer law) needing a technical translation of the file, companies facing administrative or criminal proceedings, or EU importers contesting an authority decision.
Have a matter to discuss?
All engagements begin with a brief conversation to scope the work and confirm feasibility. A few lines are all it takes to get started.
