You hand it
- Monitor the FCA and ICO for changes affecting a client sector
- Turn a horizon alert into a client update
- Maintain an exportable register of regulatory developments
You get back
An exportable register of developments with materiality bands, deadlines and owners, feeding a weekly partner digest.
You can rely on it because
It runs inside the matter, reads only what is on the file, and records every step under How this was made.
From the watch to the register.
Horizon Scanning runs a saved watch, a configuration of jurisdictions, sectors and source packs, on a cadence, and returns developments: a new instrument, a consultation, an enforcement action or a piece of guidance, each carrying a materiality band, a deadline, an owner and, where relevant, a link to a matter.
- 01
Set the sector and cadence
Tell it your sector and jurisdictions, UK and EU by default, and a cadence.
- 02
Schedule it
Schedule it, for example every Monday at 9am, and pick who gets the digest.
- 03
Sweep the authoritative sources
On each run it sweeps legislation.gov.uk, the FCA Handbook, ICO, SRA, EUR-Lex and the sector's own regulator for what is new or changed since the last run.
- 04
Receive the digest
Receive a prioritised digest, new on top, urgent items escalated, or a short all-clear when the window is quiet, kept in the run history with the sources covered.
Three tasks to start with.
The prompts the agent suggests inside the workspace. Paste your own document under any of them.
Set up a sector watch
Watch legislation.gov.uk, the FCA Handbook, ICO, SRA and EUR-Lex for anything new or changed in our sector since the last scan, and send me a weekly digest that leads with what's new.
Point it at a custom watch
Instead of a sector, watch our contract renewal and cancel-by dates across the portfolio, and escalate anything due in the next thirty days.
Turn a development into a client update
Take the most material development from this week's scan and draft a short client update explaining why it matters and what we recommend.
Who it is for, and what it will not do yet.
Best for
- GCs and compliance leads who need to know about regulatory change before it becomes a problem, and the law firms who advise them.
Not yet
- It surfaces and recommends only: the lawyer decides impact, and it cites the underlying instrument, never a blog or news write-up.

- 01From a horizon development to a client updateRegulatory change usually reaches a firm as a forwarded email from whoever reads the most. Horizon Scanning turns it into a register with materiality bands, deadlines and owners, and one action moves a development straight into a client letter.
- 02The weekly partner digestMost firms' regulatory awareness runs on one partner who reads more than everyone else and forwards what looks important. The digest replaces the forwarded email with a scheduled summary, scoped to the firm's own watches and linked to the matters it touches.
