Traditional thinking considers 'compliance' to be about 'avoidance'. We believe the concept should have a wider definition. It encompasses corporate governance, the impact of new/changing legislation and the legal and commercial dangers of non-compliance - key areas of risk that businesses need to embrace. This is why 'risk' has become an agenda item at board meetings throughout corporate UK. Our strategic thinking helps our clients gain commercially through the consideration, planning, mitigation and reasoned adoption of risk. We operate in a way that enables our clients to turn avoidance into a source of competitive advantage.

We are the only firm in the market to have a specialism across Regulation, Risk and Reputation. This means that we have one of the largest teams in the country and have strong credentials in this area, as independently verified by Chambers and Legal 500. Our team comprises lawyers who have worked for different types of enforcers and understand how they operate and some members have spent time on secondment to our clients. We provide high levels of service, understanding that clients sometimes need practical and commercially orientated answers NOW.

We advise a variety of FTSE listed companies, multinationals, insurers and public bodies such as the Health and Safety Executive. We know that by helping them plan for changes in their risk profile, corporate governance requirements and regulatory burden in a structured way, we can help provide them with real peace of mind.
