For law firms
We are specialists in legal sector compliance, supporting your COLP and COFA to effectively fulfil their duties.
Many of our law firm clients have appointed COLPs and COFAs who are also busy fee earners or team leaders and so our services provide an ideal form of support. Whilst the responsibility of those roles cannot be delegated, we can work with those Officers on a regular or ad-hoc basis to ease the regulatory burden and enable them to focus on other tasks.

What our clients say
Davina was instrumental in compiling working practices and procedures and she supplied templates that reflected how we worked. Her input made a real commercial difference to our company.
- Commercial private landlord, Hampshire
Davina was excellent in her work for my firm. She completed the work quickly and incredibly accurately and really paid attention to the accuracy of our documentation across the firm, not just the documents she was specifically reviewing. Enthusiastically recommended!
- David Roper, Solicitor
I have known Davina for many years and have been the grateful recipient of her advice on a number of issues crucial to by consultancy practice. She is not only extremely well informed and superbly competent, but also very user friendly.
