AML Compliance Consultants for Law Firms

An AML audit is a formal, independent review of your policies, controls, and compliance against regulatory standards. Consultancy is broader and proactive – we design controls, help implement them, advise on regulatory change, and provide ongoing hands-on support.

There is no “set” cost for our AML consultancy – it really depends on your firm’s needs. Our pricing is competitive, transparent, and wherever possible, we conduct work on a fixed fee basis.

Engaging with our AML consultants involves many benefits:

• We audit and consult for many law firms each year, bringing broad sector insight and practical experience.
• We relieve pressure on MLROs, MLCOs and compliance teams by providing hands-on support.
• We stay fully up to date with AML/CTF regulatory changes and best practices.
• We offer an experienced, independent perspective to test and improve your AML controls.
• Regulators value independent consultant input as part of a firm’s commitment to robust compliance.

We work under strict confidentiality obligations and can sign non-disclosure agreements on request. Any case studies we publish are anonymised unless you expressly permit us to use your name or logo.

Engagements vary by scope. Short advisory pieces or policy reviews can take a few days; full risk assessments, implementation, and training typically run from several weeks to a few months. Retained or ‘virtual MLRO' arrangements are ongoing, and fixed-fee monthly contracts are available.

Yes. Our consultants are legal sector specialists and tailor every recommendation to your firm’s size, practice areas, and risk profile. We don’t use one-size-fits-all templates.

Yes, we do. In many firms, the MLRO, COLP, and COFA roles are carried out by a partner or senior member, which can divert time away from fee-earning and strategic work. While ultimate responsibility for compliance remains with those officers, we can shoulder much of the day-to-day burden.

You can engage us to provide ongoing compliance management, or to support specific tasks – whichever suits your needs. Our compliance manager service is bespoke to your practice and available on a fixed-fee basis.
