Government Regulations & Funding

Vertex supports its clients in some of the world’s most highly regulated industries. We are experts in local, state, provincial, federal and international regulatory markets. Our in-depth knowledge and adaptable approach support our clients by identifying risks, developing strategies, and creating timelines for obtaining realistic but streamlined approvals. Project risks are minimized by working with our diverse team as we partner with proponents to determine optimal routing and siting options, mitigate stakeholder concerns, and engage with regulators.

At Vertex, navigating these complex regulations is only a single aspect of our expertise as we work closely with various clients (industry, NGO’s, not for profits and Indigenous communities) to support access to government funding programs, particularly those programs related to emerging regulations and social issues.
