Governance & Leadership
A Governance-Led Law Firm
We structure our own firm the way we advise clients to structure theirs: clear accountability, controlled risk, and transparent decision-making. Our governance framework is designed to ensure that every instruction is handled with appropriate oversight, independence and professional discipline.
We recognise that our performance reflects directly on our clients’ governance standards. Our internal controls – from conflicts management to file supervision and risk reviews – are built to withstand scrutiny from regulators, auditors and counterparties.
Leadership Team
Our leadership combines:
- Experienced litigators and regulatory specialists with City and international backgrounds
- Senior management overseeing finance, compliance, technology and operations
- Client-facing directors responsible for service delivery, relationship management and continuous improvement
Decisions on risk, resourcing and pricing for significant matters are taken at leadership level, ensuring that complex instructions receive appropriate scrutiny from the outset.
How Our Governance Benefits Clients
Our governance model produces direct benefits:
Consistency – a documented approach to case strategy, supervision and reporting
Accountability – clear ownership for each file and structured escalation routes
Transparency – fee structures and reporting designed for budget certainty and auditability
Risk control – systematic checks on conflicts, regulatory issues, data security and client due diligence
For boards, GCs and CFOs, this translates into: fewer surprises, better documentation for auditors and regulators, and clearer justification for legal spend.
Board-Facing Legal Support
We regularly support boards and committees by:
- Preparing concise briefing papers for board or risk committee meetings
- Stress-testing proposed litigation or regulatory strategies against governance standards
- Assisting with internal investigations and reporting lines
- Helping to design or refine legal risk and dispute-management frameworks
Instructions are led by senior lawyers with sector experience, supported by focused teams. We deliberately limit caseloads so that each matter receives genuine strategic attention.
