About
Regulyn is a Nordic legal advisory firm providing organisations with expert support in AI Act compliance, research regulation, and complex agreements.
Trusted by organizations navigating complex EU regulations
✓ €80M+ contract portfolios managed
✓ Serving clients with €1B+ operational budgets
✓ 10 + years leading institutional compliance programs
Regulyn provides specialized legal counsel at the intersection of AI regulation, research compliance, and agreements.
We work with organizations navigating EU's most complex regulatory frameworks - where the AI Act meets medical device regulation, where clinical trials involve novel data use, where research collaborations require sophisticated IP and data rights allocation.
Our practice is intentionally focused rather than broad. We do not attempt to serve every legal need—we concentrate on regulatory domains where we have deep, demonstrated expertise developed through years of institutional implementation experience. This specialization ensures that when you engage Regulyn, you're working with counsel who has navigated your exact regulatory challenges, not generalists learning your domain on your engagement budget.
What Regulyn does
How Regulyn is different
-
Regulyn's founder, Katri Harjuveteläinen, did not build regulatory expertise through advisory work alone. Before founding Regulyn, she led institutional data protection and AI compliance programs for healthcare and research organizations.
This meant building governance structures, developing policies and procedures, training organizational staff, responding to regulatory inquiries, managing data breaches and incidents, and navigating the operational reality of implementing compliance in complex institutional environments.
This background shapes our work fundamentally. We do not develop compliance solutions that look impressive to regulators but fail in practice. We create frameworks that address regulatory requirements while fitting organizational operational reality.
-
Regulyn's engagement model ensures you work directly with experienced counsel, not a team of junior associates supervised from a distance.
You receive the expertise you are paying for - guidance from senior expert with demonstrated experience.
For organizations with high-stakes regulatory challenges and demanding timelines, this model provides what they actually need: experienced counsel who can assess their situation efficiently, identify critical issues quickly, and provide guidance that directly addresses their requirements.
-
Regulyn's assessment-first approach ensures organizations make informed decisions about external legal counsel.
We do not assume every inquiry requires comprehensive engagement. Some situations are straightforward enough that organizations can address them with internal resources or with a fixed-scope engagement. Others involve regulatory questions where specialized counsel creates clear value.
Our goal is helping you understand which category describes your situation.
This transparency sometimes means declining potential engagements. We are comfortable with that outcome because our goal is providing genuine value to organizations with legitimate regulatory needs, not maximizing billable hours by selling services organizations do not need.
Who Regulyn serves
Regulyn works with organizations at different stages and across different sectors. The common thread across these organizations is regulatory complexity that justifies specialized legal expertise.
✓ Life Sciences or Pharmaceutical Companies
✓ Healthcare Providers
✓ Research Institutions and Universities
✓ Technology Companies (AI, Healthtech)
✓ Organizations using AI in their operations
Geographic Scope
-
Regulyn is based in Finland, providing us with deep understanding of Nordic regulatory environments and practical knowledge of working with Finnish regulatory authorities.
However, our expertise extends across the European Union - we advise on EU-level frameworks like the AI Act, Clinical Trials Regulation, and GDPR that apply across member states.
-
We also work with non-EU organizations entering European markets or navigating European regulatory requirements.
If you are US-based healthcare technology company deploying AI systems in the EU, a Swiss pharmaceutical company conducting clinical trials across EU countries, or an organization from any jurisdiction facing EU regulatory requirements, we can help you understand and address those obligations.
-
Our Nordic base provides advantages for organizations operating in this region - we understand local regulatory authority practices, institutional cultures, and practical implementation considerations that shape regulatory outcomes.
Our EU-level expertise makes us valuable to organizations regardless of their primary jurisdiction, as long as they face European regulatory complexity.
