Helping you improve compliance and risk management in your organisation through consultancy, training and assessment.

Our Services

Does your legal practice have appropriate, effective and monitored controls to ensure you comply with the latest AML regulations? We conduct independent AML audits for law firms, in addition to AML consultancy and training.

We are leading specialists in in-person training and live-online training.

We provide tailored training for law firms across a wide range of important areas such as AML, Lexcel, CQS, GDPR, cybersecurity and more. Click below to view our full range of training courses and services.

We conduct in-depth file reviews, monitoring and analysis for law firms, and provide detailed reporting describing risks, trends and remedial action for consideration.

Are you ready for the latest version of Lexcel? Over the years, we have worked closely with The Law Society with the Lexcel standard, ensuring that our consultants can provide unparalleled support to your law firm, with Lexcel compliance and accreditation advice, in addition to Lexcel training or auditing services

CQS is a recognised standard for residential conveyancing practices that are authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). We'll help your firm with consultancy or training to attain or maintain CQS accreditation. We support every stage, from applications to re-accreditation.

Legal practices handle huge volumes of sensitive information and data, under the requirements imposed by SRA mandates to ensure its confidentiality and safekeeping. We provide ‘real-world' support to firms to help them meet the challenges of information security.

Do you know exactly what personal data you process, and how it is processed and safeguarded? Are you clear on all of the touchpoints of the GDPR in your legal practice? Do you know how to deal with a Data Subject Access Request or a data breach? Our GDPR and data protection services will help you to support compliance with the latest data protection regulations.

Managing risk and compliance within a law firm is a full time job. We provide direct support to COLPs, COFAs, MLROs, practice managers, partners, directors and compliance managers to help them keep on top of regulation and risk; from reviewing policies to guidance on regulation and best practice.
