Legal & Compliance

No — we provide operational compliance and documentation support, not formal legal counsel. Our role is to help you organise, draft, and review the documents and processes that keep your business compliant. Where formal legal advice is required, we can prepare and structure everything your solicitor will need so that their time — and your costs — are kept to a minimum.

We can review contracts for clarity, consistency, and potential risk flags — and help you organise amendments or redlines. For example, if you’re entering a new supplier agreement, we’ll check the terms against your existing policies and flag anything that could create exposure. Formal legal sign-off should still come from a qualified solicitor where required, but we ensure the groundwork is thorough and well-organised before it reaches them.

Yes. We can create and tailor policies and templates based on your operations, industry requirements, and the level of control you need. Whether it’s a data protection policy, an employee handbook section, or an internal procedure for handling complaints, we build it around how your business actually works. This ensures each policy is practical and maintainable, rather than a generic document that gets ignored.

Pricing is based on scope and urgency. A straightforward policy review will cost less than a full compliance overhaul with new documentation. After a short consultation, we’ll confirm a clear fee structure so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins. There are no hidden charges, and we’ll always tell you upfront if the scope changes.

We work across a range of sectors, with particular experience supporting professional services, property, retail, and technology businesses. The common thread is that our clients are SMEs who need proportionate compliance — not the heavy frameworks designed for large corporates. If your business handles client data, manages contracts, or operates under any form of regulatory oversight, our support is directly relevant.

A focused review of existing documentation can typically be completed within one to two weeks, depending on volume and complexity. Larger projects involving new policy creation, risk assessments, and process redesign may take longer, and we’ll agree a clear timeline during the initial consultation. We always work to deadlines — if you have a regulatory submission or audit date approaching, we’ll plan around it.

Absolutely. Audit preparation is one of the most common reasons clients engage us. We’ll review your existing documentation, identify gaps, and help you build a structured pack that demonstrates compliance clearly and professionally. For businesses that also need their financial records and reporting reviewed ahead of an audit, we can coordinate that alongside the compliance work to ensure everything is aligned.

Yes — we’re used to working alongside external advisors and see it as a strength, not a complication. If you already have an accountant managing your statutory filings and governance, we’ll coordinate with them so there’s no duplication. The same applies to solicitors — we prepare and organise, they advise and sign off, and the result is a smoother, more cost-effective process for you.

Yes. Many of our clients continue with periodic reviews — quarterly or biannually — to keep their documentation current and respond to regulatory changes. Compliance isn’t a one-off task, and having a consistent partner who understands your business — including how your systems and technology evolve — means updates are faster, cheaper, and more accurate. We’ll recommend a review schedule that fits your risk profile and the pace of change in your sector.
