Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general)
Italian term or phrase: ordine normativo
Could I please have some help with this term here is the context describing the activities for anassociation representing kitchenware producers:

Offre consulenza alle aziende in merito alle problematiche di ordine normativo, sindicale, fiscale, legale, amministrativo, doganale.

English translation:on legal issues
Explanation:
hi leanne, the sentence implicitly reads as follows:

Offre consulenza alle aziende in merito alle problematiche di ordine normativo, di ordine sindacale, di ordine fiscale, di ordine legale, di ordine amministrativo, di ordine doganale.

So you could say: the company offers business consulting services on legal, administrative, etc. issues (or something along those lines, there are several ways of turning the sentence around).

"di ordine" literally means "of ... nature", as desertfox has already pointed out.

BIG CAVEAT: "normativo" here relates to rules and regulations OTHER than laws (e.g. orders issued by regulation authorities). it does not mean "prescriptive".

agree  James (Jim) Davis: legislation and regulations is what I usually do with it, ugly as it is.

agree  Fabiana Papastefani-Pezzoni: Adele is right, I hadn't read it well. In this case it is best to translate as Adele suggests. You see it often in legal field, as normative orders.
