As we work with so many firms we have the benefit of regular reviews and assessment reports from our client base undergoing Lexcel Assessments and investigations by the regulator. We use this knowledge to update all of the firms we are working with; so firms working with us benefit from our team experience and the experience of others.
Compliance covers a variety of rules, regulations and legislation and firms should consider whether they have adequate processes and procedures in place to cover all of the requirements. We offer a compliance review to help firms identify areas of non compliance and also to help put right those non compliances.

They have been a joy to work with and I would thoroughly recommend Legal Eye to those firms looking for assistance with compliance issues and optimising their performance.
