Consultation Restrictions

Consultation restrictions can prohibit an expert from participating in a particular consultation. Restrictions can be specific topics or subjects that an expert is prohibited from discussing, as well as limits on the number of times an expert may consult in a specified timeframe. Reuters Insight diligently records and monitors consultation restrictions for each expert in the Community. These restrictions can originate with:

  • Clients – Can choose to impose customized restrictions on their expert interactions.
  • Reuters Insight – Our internal restrictions provide a minimum that is applicable to all consultations in the following areas:
    • No expert may discuss their current employer’s business.
    • No expert may discuss their former employer’s business until six months after departure.
    • No expert may consult with known competitors of his/her employer.
    • Experts employed by public companies can participate in a maximum of three (3) consultations in a given calendar year, unless the relevant employer has furnished their written consent for participation to Reuters Insight.
  • Expert employers – Can limit or preclude their current employees’ ability to consult with Reuters Insight.
  • Experts – Upon registering, can stipulate their own restrictions while completing their expert profile, and can augment this information during the pre-consultation qualifying process.

During the qualification process, Reuters Insight will examine any questions relating to the applicability of restriction(s). More details on restrictions can be found in the External Compliance policy .
