Public policy and law
Advised Austria's Chancellor and Minister of Finance, served as an adviser to Austria's Minister of Reforms, Deregulation and Justice, and holds a doctorate in law from the University of Vienna.
Regulatory expertise, built into the product.
RegLayer combines AI-native research and monitoring with human legal, regulatory, and policy judgment. It helps technology companies see what applies across markets, what changed, and what their teams need to do next.
Our vision
Regulatory navigation should keep pace with the business.
Technology companies do not operate one regulation, product, or market at a time. RegLayer builds a company-specific regulatory layer across jurisdictions and product lines, then keeps it current as the business and policy environment change.
The software handles the repetitive work: horizon scanning, source review, applicability mapping, dates, and operational follow-through. Human expertise is available for the judgments that need context, challenge, or review.
Built by people who have done the work
Policy, law, technology, and implementation in one team.
Technology and operations
Built regulatory intelligence systems and analytics tooling at Coinbase, with additional experience at BCG, Wharton, and technology startups.
Regulatory execution
Horizon scanning, regulatory strategy, compliance work streams, and the translation of policy changes into concrete product and process implications.

A defined expert standard.Expert Briefs and Reports are researched and written by a qualified regulatory expert. Qualified means formal training in law, regulation, or public policy, and experience relevant to the jurisdiction or regulatory domain.
Your team stays in control.Analysis is grounded in official primary sources, checked against the company facts you provide, and kept available for verification.
Security and data handling
