Compliance Support

A cost effective way for you to manage your quality, risk and compliance issues.

Although many firms have a full time quality / compliance / risk manager, there is a large number whose resources do not permit such appointments.  In some firms these roles are undertaken on a part time basis by a partner or other senior member of the organisation, in many cases reducing the time available for fee-earning work.

We can arrange for you to have your quality, risk and compliance issues looked at by a specialist.

We can make arrangements on your behalf to introduce you to a specialist consultant Partner who can monitor the implementation of your systems and tell you whether they are working as intended.  If you wish he will we can also help you to develop and refine your systems in the first place. We can help you to identify any ‘dark corners’ where compliance issues could be lurking.

The ultimate responsibility for risk and compliance must always lie within the firm. 

The Process
In consultation with the Consultantour partner, we will visit and explain what we can do and help you to identify what you want us to do.  Some of the areas where you might want assistance that you may want us to assist you with could include:

• file reviews
• complaints and claims reviews
• the development and / or monitoring of key plans, policies, processes and procedures (including Office / Quality Manuals)
• Money Laundering Regulation procedures
• updates to relevant members of staff on key parts of the Solicitors’ Code of Conduct
• the development of strategic, business, and marketing plans
• the development, monitoring and testing of your Business Continuity Plan.

This list is not intended to be exhaustive; there may be other areas that you can think of.   Just let us know and we can discuss them with you.

The costs

When we meet, we can discuss and agree the charginge parameters.
