Regulatory expectations on firms’ governance and risk management models continue to increase, alongside the focus on individual accountability that can only be met by sound policies and procedures.
Designing effective models can only be done with a clear understanding of the laws and regulations that shape the operating environment.
We draw on our diverse experience of observing both good and sub-optimal governance and risk management for a broad range of financial services clients across the world. We've advised many clients on these issues and have assisted others in addressing the consequences of sub-optimal practice. This is reflected in our approach, which is based around proven 'real-world' solutions to meet regulatory needs and be workable in practice.

Our integrated financial services regulatory team spans over 25 countries across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Many of our team members have previously held senior in-house roles within both regulators and global financial institutions, giving us genuine insight into the pressures and challenges you face.
We go beyond theory. We get into the detail and partner with our clients to design and implement governance and risk management arrangements that will meet the test of clear responsibility, accountability and effective oversight.
