Compliance & Accreditation
Regulatory Integrity as a Core Discipline
We treat regulatory compliance as an operational discipline, not a marketing slogan. Our systems, processes and supervision are aligned to meet and exceed the expectations of legal regulators, professional bodies and corporate clients.
We are authorised and regulated as required for the jurisdictions in which we operate. Our internal compliance function works alongside our legal teams to ensure that advice to clients is delivered within a robust risk management framework.
Professional and Regulatory Standards
Key features of our compliance framework include:
- Rigorous client due diligence and source-of-funds checks
- Formal conflicts and confidentiality procedures, including information barriers where needed
- Structured file-opening and matter risk assessment processes
- Ongoing supervision by senior lawyers, with periodic file audits and peer review
- Documented complaints, incident and breach-reporting procedures
For clients, this means that instructions are conducted in a manner that will withstand examination by regulators, courts, counterparties and auditors.
Quality and Information Security
We align our practices with recognised quality and information-security standards, including:
- Documented policies for data protection, retention and secure destruction
- Controlled access to client files, both digitally and physically
- Vendor and technology risk assessment for key systems and third-party providers
- Regular training for all staff on confidentiality, cyber risk and data handling
Where clients operate under heightened regulatory or information-security requirements, we adapt our processes to integrate with their internal policies and assurance frameworks.
Evidence of Standards and Assurance
We understand that institutional and high-value clients require clear evidence of our standards. We therefore:
- Provide detailed responses to panel and vendor due-diligence questionnaires
- Make key policies and governance summaries available under NDA where appropriate
- Offer periodic compliance and performance reviews for major clients
- Maintain structured records suitable for audit and external review
