What does それに伴い at the start of a sentence mean?


I have a sentence that starts with それに伴い which I'm trying to translate. I'm
assuming that it's a more polite version of それに伴って. My best guess for the
meaning would be "With regard to (a previous subject)" or "In relation to (a
previous subject)".

Could anyone give the best way to say this in English with some example
sentences.




`それに伴い` is a more formal way of saying `それに伴って`. Changing て-form into 連用形 is
very common in formal Japanese.

伴う is used to show strong forward correlation, so `それに伴い` would be translated
as `Along with that, ….`
