Professional & Corporate Compliance

Help with a heavier burden of regulation

It's vital to keep pace with compliance. In recent years, the business and professional communities have had to comply with a growing burden of regulation generated at UK and European levels. It's vital that professionals and business people keep abreast of both the impacts and pace of continual reform. We know how difficult this can be for people who are busy with their day-to-day responsibilities. But the consequences of even inadvertent non-compliance can be serious.

Immediate and comprehensive advice. The Group has a wide experience of professional and corporate compliance matters in both the private and public sectors. We aim to provide immediate advice and representation in regulatory, disciplinary or criminal matters. Ours is a comprehensive service, using our Group's expertise and experience in alliance other appropriate skills in our firm's 22 specialist Practice Groups.

Urgency - when there's an investigation. Individuals are increasingly open to both civil and criminal proceedings and penalties for activity in their professional capacity. Our clients need swift access to expert, comprehensive advice, particularly if they're subject to an investigation within set time frames. This could be a minor infraction of regulations, a serious breach of Companies or Competition Acts or, at worst, a criminal investigation of an individual in the business.
