Confidence in Compliance. Clarity in Complex Transactions.

Our services Speak to the team

Who we are

Compliance leadership you can build on

Built on the compliance leadership of Andrew Haynes, we bring together qualified UK solicitors with over 20 years in cross-border transactions, financial-services regulation and complex compliance. The team includes Trust and Estate Practitioners and former FCA Compliance Oversight and MLRO functions.

Specialists in CDD

Recognised specialists in Customer Due Diligence: rigorous, evidence-based assessment of identity, ownership and source of funds.

Forensic judgement

We interrogate technology-generated reports and data, resolve discrepancies, and provide clear, regulator-ready explanations, not just automated outputs.

An enabler, not a barrier

We help you meet rising AML and CDD expectations while continuing to transact, grow and operate with clarity and control.

What we do

A full-spectrum compliance partner

From AML and onboarding to governance, data protection and AI, we support your obligations end to end, as a one-off review or an outsourced, on-call function.

AML & Client Onboarding→ Verify identity, ownership and source of funds, so regulated firms can onboard clients quickly without inheriting hidden money-laundering risk. Compliance-as-a-Service→ Your outsourced, on-call compliance function: advice, policies and a helpline whenever a question or live deal can't wait for an in-house team. GDPR & Data Protection→ Keep personal data lawful and secure, from privacy notices to breach response, avoiding fines and protecting client trust. FCA Compliance Support→ Stay aligned with FCA expectations (monitoring, returns, Consumer Duty and SMCR) without carrying a full compliance department. Supplier & Third-Party Due Diligence→ Know who's in your supply chain before you commit, by screening third parties for bribery, sanctions, modern-slavery and cyber risk. Corporate Governance→ Board-ready governance: policies, registers and frameworks that keep decision-making accountable, transparent and defensible. Independent Reviews & Audits→ An objective health-check of your compliance that surfaces gaps and gives you a clear remediation plan before a regulator does. AI Governance & Emerging Tech→ Adopt AI with confidence: governance, risk assessments and vendor checks that keep new technology compliant and well-controlled.
