Who We Are
We are a boutique regulatory practice specialising in business crime, regulatory and workplace investigations. Our clients range from individuals and SMEs to large international PLCs each benefitting from our unique approach and breadth of experience, often without incurring personal or business costs due to existing insurance cover.

Our team advises on the full spectrum of regulatory issues, helping clients achieve and maintain legal compliance through tailored solutions. In the event of a regulatory investigation or enforcement action, we provide business defence to navigate these challenges effectively.
Instructing us at the early stages of a matter means our clients avoid potentially costly mistakes that could impact the outcome of their case in the long term. We understand the preparation required to achieve the most favourable results, mitigate penalties, and safeguard reputations.

How We Work
Once you have contacted us, we shall arrange a free initial consultation so you can discuss your matter with a member of our expert team. We shall then assess your insurance policies to identify the extent of your coverage.
We shall develop a tailored legal strategy to manage your case based on its facts and your business circumstances. We shall take whatever legal steps necessary to execute this plan effectively and efficiently, providing you with accessible support throughout.
Why Choose Us?
We are a boutique practice, meaning we take time to understand your needs and personalise our service accordingly. We’re committed to producing the best outcomes for all of our clients, regardless of how challenging their case.
We adopt a proactive approach and work with our clients during the early stages of their cases to help them save time and money.
Our team will provide constant support and consistent communication throughout your matter, from advising on compliance and strategy development to crisis management and defence.
The benefit of indemnity insurance means many of our clients incur no cost when instructing us. We will review your policy documents so you know what fees your insurer will cover from the outset.
However, in the absence of policy cover, our fees are competitive and will be discussed and agreed in advance, with no hidden surprises.
We are specialists, recognised by insurers as experts in our fields. Our lawyers have decades of experience advising on all aspects of regulatory matters.
