United Kingdom

England and Wales by default, with your governing law carried in the terms.

One company, two halves.

Rated Counsel is a consultancy and a product company. The advisory side works on regulatory and legal questions for companies that operate under real scrutiny.

The product side turns the recurring parts of that work into software. Each side keeps the other honest: the advice stays practical because we have to build it, and the products stay useful because we have to rely on them.

Products

Consultancy

Advice across the regulated lifecycle.

From a single regulatory question to the operating model that keeps you compliant.

All services

  • Legal advisory

    Commercial, technology and contract law for companies building and buying regulated technology.

  • Regulatory advisory

    Where you sit under UK and EU regimes, what that requires, and how to evidence it.

  • Governance, risk and compliance

    Risk registers, controls, policies and the operating rhythm that keeps them current.

  • Legal and regulatory operations technology

    Choosing, implementing and running the tooling, including our own products, that turns the work into a system.

How we work

Independent

We are not tied to a vendor or a panel. The advice is the one we would act on ourselves.

Evidence, not noise

Most regulatory change does not apply to you. The work is finding the part that does, and showing why.

We use what we sell

Our products come out of our own practice. If a tool does not earn its place, we do not ship it.

The point of compliance is not more documents. It is fewer, current ones, and the evidence that they are followed.

Talk to us about your regulatory and legal operations.

A short call is usually enough to tell whether we can help, and how.
