A small, senior advisory focused on UK financial services regulation.
We bring together legal judgement, regulatory insight and policy sense — joined up, not siloed.
Independent in ownership and outlook, grounded in the rule of law.
What we help with
We work where regulatory scrutiny is high and outcomes matter — including:
- Investigations, enforcement risk and supervisory engagement
- Conduct failures and customer outcomes exposure
- Governance breakdowns and accountability gaps
- Transformation programmes where governance is lagging delivery and evidence trails are harder to maintain
What we do in practice
We conduct independent reviews, root cause investigations and decision reconstruction — establishing what was known, what changed, and how judgements were made. We design remediation that regulators and boards can rely on.
And we help organisations build the decision infrastructure — governance, controls, escalation, evidence — that makes defensibility the default rather than the exception.
What differentiates our approach
- Senior-led from start to finish. No leverage model. The people you meet are the people who do the work.
- Multidisciplinary by design. Legal, regulatory, behavioural science and technology insight — brought together where it adds value, not as a billing exercise.
- Built for defensibility. Everything we produce is designed to withstand regulatory, judicial or board-level scrutiny — because that's where it ends up.
How we work
- Clear scope and outputs, with board-ready reporting where needed
- Independent perspective and direct advice
- Practical recommendations designed for implementation under real-world constraints
- Discreet engagement with a low-friction working style
Research, policy and capability-building
Beyond client work, we contribute to the development of better regulation and help organisations build internal capability to navigate it — through policy analysis, senior training for boards and executives, and selective speaking engagements on regulation, governance and institutional resilience.
