What we do

Whether economic, strategic, financial, managerial or organisational, we enable and empower firms to promote growth and offer savings while achieving significant and sustainable competitive advantage over rivals in an increasingly changing global marketplace.

Our success is based on providing our clients with a well-structured and phased end-to-end approach that minimises the risk of deal failure, and delivers tangible synergies throughout the process.

Understanding the dynamics, providing innovative insight and overcoming obstacles is what we bring to the table. Whether your challenges are legal, business, financial, operational, IT/systems, compliance, risk-related, intellectual property or human resources, our specialist team members are well placed to support your acquisition, restructuring or divestiture journey.

Our experienced teams have extensive local and international financial services and banking sector knowledge, meeting the need for greater transparency in a more globalised and complex world.

Our approach to compliance is not simply meeting regulatory requirements. In line with our flexible resource model, we are able to target known critical compliance gaps and provide solutions to ongoing regulatory challenges, while carrying out complete risk assessments of your current governance frameworks.

Regulatory frameworks are constantly evolving across sectors and around the world. As transparency rises in importance and the costs of non-compliance with laws and regulations increase, businesses everywhere strive to adapt to the growing pressure from regulatory bodies. We can help.

With our extensive knowledge of local regulations and our multi-jurisdictional capabilities, we are well-positioned to help clients around the world deal effectively and creatively with regulatory and compliance issues. As business has globalised and cross-border transactions have become more complex, our ability to provide appropriate counsel and support across jurisdictions has become all the more important.

Our clients come to us to understand their responsibilities, manage risk and lessen the impact of complex regulatory regimes on their transactions or day-to-day operations. Our strong relationships with members of oversight agencies and regulators give us the basis to counsel and support clients from a current and fully informed perspective.
We commit our global resources to helping them meet regulatory requirements and keep their businesses running smoothly, no matter where they are based.

We have extensive experience in banking and financial services where we advise on all aspects of regulatory compliance and contentious issues involving the banking, capital markets and investment fund sectors. Our objective is to create sophisticated strategies that safeguard our clients’ assets and reputations and enable them to concentrate on pursuing their business objectives with confidence. This is helped by the substantive involvement we have had in the development and implementation of current US, UK and EU legislation and related guidance.

Our consulting and advisory services identify and address obstacles to a sustainable financial system that lies within market practices, structures and regulations. Our expertise within strategy, governance, integrity and accountability lie at the heart of our service offerings; changing investor behaviours for a better and more sustainable future.

It is an undeniable truth that increasing investor demand and sentiment, shareholder pressure and the way we interact with the environment are becoming mainstream thinking in the development of an organisational ESG strategy. Creating scalable, sustainable and impact-investing solutions that deliver competitive financial returns, while driving positive environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes, are at the core of what we do.

We produce informative sustainability research and opinions from industry, and share our expertise with clients, encouraging innovative approaches to solving climate change and other sustainability challenges.
