About

Provided by The Risk Advisory Group

We help legal and compliance teams across many different sectors evaluate and mitigate a spectrum of regulatory and reputational risks, including: 

  • Working with legal and compliance teams to provide in-depth due diligence on new commercial relationships, JV partners, suppliers, agents, distributors or acquisition targets;
  • Helping compliance teams respond to new sanctions; 
  • Completing diligence on acquisition targets for deal teams; 
  • Conducting source of wealth-driven investigations for financial clients; 
  • Providing training for in-house compliance or due diligence staff; and 
  • Evaluating candidates for senior positions. 

We organise our staff into regional teams covering the Americas, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa, Russia and Eurasia, and Asia Pacific. This structure enables us to concentrate our regional expertise in dedicated and specialist groups. Our in-house specialists have expert backgrounds, and an excellent working knowledge of FCPA compliance, UK Bribery Act compliance and other national counter-bribery legislation.
