Regulatory economics & chartered accountancy — UK, EU & international

Regulation is complicated. The advice needn't be.

Exonia is a boutique practice — regulatory economics, public affairs, and accountancy, chartered in the UK and Canada. For twenty years we have advised operators, platforms, boards, regulators and parliaments across the UK, EU, and international markets. Small enough that you speak to the person doing the work. Experienced enough that they have done it before.

Get in touch

Robust enough for a publicly traded company.
Pragmatic enough for an innovator.

The advice scales to the risk actually in front of you — not to how alarming the regulation sounds.

Practice areas

Two disciplines, one practice

01

Telecoms, technology & public affairs

Regulatory and economic analysis across telecoms, technology, and AI-native platforms — from Ofcom filings to select committee evidence. You get an answer with a view in it, at the length the question deserves.

Telecoms regulatory & economic analysis

Ofcom, PECR, and ITU-aligned compliance; tariff and interconnection economics; and FCC regulatory matters, including Robocall Mitigation Database obligations for US operations.

Public affairs & policy

Evidence, briefings, and consultation responses for legislators and regulators — and for the parties appearing in front of them.

AI regulation & startup affairs

Acceptable-use governance, deployment risk review, and regulatory and structuring advice for AI-native platforms and their investors — advice informed by building one.

Data protection & privacy

UK GDPR compliance and privacy policy review for regulated telecoms and technology operators.

02

Chartered accountancy & tax

Financial, tax, and governance advisory, chartered in the UK and Canada. Year-end should be a conversation you understand, and our overheads should not show up on your invoice.

Financial, tax & statutory compliance

UK and Canadian statutory accounts, tax and R&D credit claims, VAT and payroll — plus the less obvious things: dormant company upkeep, nominee directorships, and keeping watch for anyone trying to hijack your company name.

Corporate governance

Share scheme design, articles of association, and board-level compliance — treated as one continuous piece of governance work, alongside cross-border restructuring and commercial contracts.

Business advisory

Forecasting, valuations, and capital structure — and a sounding board for the decisions where there is no one else in the room to ask.

Track record

Regulation is written before it is litigated

We have given evidence and advice to the European Commission — to DG COMP on merger control, and to the Commission presidency on net neutrality — to the CRTC in Canada, and to parliamentarians on both sides of the House at Westminster. And when those rules are contested, advisory work becomes contested work. We have given expert evidence in the High Court and in international commercial proceedings, appeared before the Competition and Markets Authority and the Competition Appeal Tribunal, and intervened in a Supreme Court appeal. Our side won.
