RISK MANAGEMENT AND REGULATORY ADVICE FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

We advise a wide range of professional services firms on a wide range of issues relating to risk management and regulation. Our Regulatory Unit works closely with other areas of the firm to ensure clients receive a seamless service. These include the following:

• Advice on conflicts of interest, including managing own interest conflicts.
• Advising in risk and regulation, including insurance issues, during a merger of professional services firms.
• Reviewing and updating terms of business to assure liability protection as part of a merger or international restructuring.
• Woking alongside external counsel, such as US counsel, to align the regulatory risks and requirements across a range of jurisdictions.
• Advising on risks associated with external partner appointments.
• Providing bespoke and off-the-shelf training to partners and inhouse lawyers to assure their continuing competence on regulatory matters. Find out more about our training.
• Ensuring law firm constitutions are wholly compliant with the SRA Standards.
