English term

help you address ...

Non-PRO English Medical Medical: Pharmaceuticals
You also need to be supported by a partner that understands what you¡¯re trying to accomplish, and that will collaborate with you to anticipate requirements that will help your laboratory, products, and company grow. As your needs for greater instrument sensitivity, accuracy, and throughput increase, you also look to a partner that will help you address imperatives to comply with regulatory requirements, manage intellectual property, and establish knowledge management systems.

Can somebody help explain "help you address imperatives to comply with regulatory requirement" in simple English?

Thank you very much in advance!

RHELLER Jun 1, 2005:
an imperative (noun) is a requirement; a command; here the term applies to the THREE things which follow. Two of those are not regulatory requirements but business needs.
Carmen Schultz Jun 1, 2005:
Imperatives means very important or essential issues/matters (here regulatory issues such as laws,rules or regulations, etc.)
Mikhail Kropotov Jun 1, 2005:
regulatory requirements are the legal rules in this case. imperative here is a noun that means something absolutely necessary.

"... who will help you focus on/direct your attention to very important issues in order to fulfill rules and regulations."

Help you tackle .... see explanation below

Regulatory requirements are something that have to be complied with at ANY COST and under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. This is why they are imperative. You cannot escape complying with reguatory requirement.

Therefore, they are sort of emergencies, and a company can do with all help it can get to comply with these regulatory requirements. That is, all help in ADDRESSING the imperative to comply with the regualtory requirement.

To address something is to tackle it, take it head on, to fulfil it, to do the needful, etc.

So what is basically meant here is that you need a partner who can help you with the urgent and unavoidable task of complying with regulatory requirements.
