Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum volume of questions?
No. The scope is defined with you in the first conversation, according to your flows and needs, and can change over time.
Do you work outside Toulouse?
Yes. Most of the support is provided remotely; I travel for audits, training sessions and important meetings.
What happens when US law is involved?
I analyse your products' exposure to US regulations (EAR, ITAR). Where a US law opinion or a filing with the US authorities is needed, I work with US colleagues.
