AML Audits

Anti-Money Laundering services

The Fear of Non-Compliance is Real 

Strengthen your AML Compliance

Our Mock AML Audits simulate regulatory scrutiny, identifying strengths and weaknesses before your Regulation 21 Audit. Use them for interim checks or preparation. 

We also conduct formal Regulation 21 Audits, plus offer File Reviews and Staff Interviews to assess practical implementation. 

If you concern is implementation, File Reviews and Staff Interviews reveal implementation gaps – because strong policies alone aren't enough.

Pinpoint and resolve specific implementation challenges with our focused audits, leading to a more robust and practically effective AML framework.

Tailored Solutions for You

Our AML review services are designed to provide you with the precise insights you need. We don't offer a one-size-fits-all approach.

Instead, we tailor our Mock AML Audits, Regulation 21 Audits, focused area audits, file reviews, and staff interviews to the unique characteristics and potential risk areas of your firm, ensuring our analysis is relevant, actionable, and directly addresses your needs.

Proactive Insights for Continuous AML Improvement

AML compliance is an ongoing process. Our services provide proactive insights to drive continuous improvement within your firm.


Through Mock AML Audits, we help you identify areas for enhancement before formal audits. Our Regulation 21 Audits offer benchmarks for progress. Targeted audits on specific areas, detailed file reviews, and feedback from staff interviews all contribute to a cycle of continuous learning and strengthening your AML framework.

Child Contact and Residence

Don't give up hope. We provide clear, compassionate legal support, helping you understand your rights and we can help you build your case for shared care. Contact us today! Call Us:  020 4578 4684


Putting Children First, Not Conflict

Facing disagreements about child contact and residence can feel like building walls between you and the other parent. Our service focuses on empowering you to dismantle those walls and build bridges towards collaborative agreements. 

We provide you with the tools and strategies to communicate effectively, understand the other parent's perspective (without necessarily agreeing with it), and propose solutions that prioritize your children's needs. 

By focusing on finding common ground and working towards mutually acceptable outcomes, we help you navigate disputes in a way that fosters cooperation and minimizes conflict.

Alternative Solutions

The most child-focused and often the most cost-effective way to determine contact and residence arrangements is through non-court or pre-court solutions. We are dedicated to helping you explore these less adversarial pathways. 


Through skilled negotiation and a focus on your children's well-being, we aim to facilitate agreements that minimise conflict and promote a stable and supportive environment. 


Let us help you navigate this challenging time with a strategy that prioritises your children's needs and avoids the emotional and financial costs of court.

Tailored Solutions

Your family's circumstances are unlike any other, and our support reflects that. 


Our services are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether you're prioritising a resolution through negotiation or other out-of-court methods, or require assistance with Family Court applications (both making and responding).


We can also help you secure experienced barrister representation for court hearings regarding child contact and residence.

Interpersonal Mediation

Co-Parent Mediation

Avoid prolonged conflict, increased stress, and potentially costly legal battles by choosing interpersonal co-parent mediation.

Benefits

  • Collaboration Over Conflict: Facilitates a structured environment for you and your co-parent to work together on child arrangements, moving away from the adversarial nature of court.
  • Child-Focused Approach: Ensures decisions are centred on your children's well-being and needs, rather than the complexities of the former parental relationship.
  • Private and Confidential: Offers a discreet forum to discuss sensitive family matters, unlike potentially public child proceedings in court.
  • Faster Solutions: Enables you to start moving towards agreements more quickly compared to the potentially lengthy court process.
  • Voluntary Participation: Relies on the willingness of both parents to engage constructively, fostering a sense of ownership over the outcomes, unlike the often compelled nature of court.
  • Focus on Common Ground: Guides you and your co-parent to identify shared goals for your children, rather than focusing on polarising legal positions.
  • Avoid Court Scrutiny: Helps you navigate arrangements without the inevitable scrutiny of a court welfare officer and the potential for their report to influence outcomes.
  • Shield Children from Court Involvement: Protects your children from potentially unsettling court welfare officer letters

Your Shared Solutions: Reaching Child-Focused Outcomes Together

The most effective and sustainable solutions for your children are often those that are developed and agreed upon by both parents. Our interpersonal co-parent mediation service centers on empowering you and your co-parent to create your own shared solutions. We facilitate the conversation, keeping the focus squarely on your children's needs and best interests. 

By working together in mediation, you can tailor arrangements for contact, residence, education, and more, in a way that directly addresses your children's unique circumstances. 


The outcomes are yours – developed collaboratively – ensuring a greater sense of ownership and commitment from both parents, ultimately leading to more stable and child-focused arrangements.

Empowers You to Control the Outcome and Foster a Win-Win

Retain Control and Cultivate a Positive Path Forward. While court proceedings can often leave both parents feeling like they've lost something, regardless of the outcome, interpersonal co-parent mediation empowers you to maintain control over decisions about your children. Instead of surrendering that power to a judge, mediation allows you and your co-parent to actively shape arrangements that work for your unique circumstances. This collaborative approach minimizes the uncertainty and adversarial nature of court, helping you build mutually agreeable solutions that feel less like a compromise and more like a shared success.

NB: We do not offer MAIMs.

  • We do not offer Family Mediation. Some Family Mediation Services offer MIAMs. 
  • As we offer Interpersonal Co-Parent Mediation we do not offer MIAMs.
  • If you seek MIAMs you can obtain this elsewhere at separate expense.

Civil & Business Mediation

Civil or Business Disputes Can Fracture Relationships. Are you facing a conflict that's impacting your business partnerships, client relationships, or community standing? Court battles often escalate tensions, leaving lasting damage. Mediation offers a confidential space to address concerns, preserve relationships, and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes. We can help guide you to a collaborative resolution.


Nip it in the Bud

The prospect of being tied up in lengthy court proceedings can feel unappetising. Not only can it drag on for months, even years, but the outcome is also far from certain, potentially leaving you feeling stuck and unable to move forward with other aspects of your life. Mediation offers a welcome alternative: a swifter path to resolution for those willing to collaborate and find mutually acceptable solutions. Through open communication, misunderstandings can be clarified or eliminated, and the foundation for stronger future relationships can be built, empowering you to regain control and move forward with greater certainty.


If the prospect of lingering, unresolved conflict is unappealing, consider seeking early resolution. Mediation offers a proactive way to nip potential issues in the bud.

The Importance of Preserving Relationships

  • In the professional landscape, the ability to safeguard positive working relationships with crucial contacts and team members represents a significant strategic advantage. 
  • Offering readily available resolution mechanisms and implementing timely interventions are essential for ensuring individuals feel acknowledged and for securing prompt solutions before discontent takes root and alternative, potentially disruptive, measures are considered. 
  • This forward-thinking approach cultivates a more collaborative and productive environment, contributing to the retention of valuable expertise. 
  • Resolving conflicts privately, shielded from the public exposure of court, yields benefits for all stakeholders. 
  • Mediation offers a professional and confidential platform for collaborative resolution, distinct from the often-antagonistic nature of court. 
  • Acknowledging the court system's procedural emphasis on exploring mediation both before and during litigation, early adoption of this approach demonstrates a commitment to efficient and relationship-preserving outcomes.
  • Win-Win

    We understand the pain that unresolved workplace conflict can bring:

    • The Silent Drain: Losing valued team members due to disputes not only impacts productivity but also leads to a significant loss of institutional knowledge.
    • The Disappointment of Court: It's common for participants in civil disputes to feel that court, regardless of the result, has taken a toll and hasn't truly resolved the underlying issues.
    • Barriers to Resolution: When legal positions harden, the opportunity for collaborative solutions and relationship repair can be lost.

    Mediation offers a more hopeful and empowering alternative:

    • A Shared Choice: It's a voluntary process where both parties actively choose to work towards resolution.
    • A Space for Understanding: We help facilitate open and respectful communication, allowing individual circumstances to be heard and considered.
    • Recognizing the Human Cost: The emotional and business impact of prolonged conflict is a key driver in seeking a mediated solution.
    • Jointly Determined Outcomes: You and the other party retain control over the final agreement, rather than facing the uncertainty of a court ruling.

    Alexander Christian - Domestic Abuse
    Alexander Christian - Domestic Abuse
    Family Law

    Domestic Abuse

    Domestic abuse is never acceptable, and it takes many forms. It's not just physical violence; it can be coercive control, emotional manipulation, or economic abuse. Domestic abuse can leave you feel isolated. 
    We also acknowledge the difficult reality of false accusations. We can provide a space to discuss your situation and explore your options.


    Considering options

    It's okay to ask for help. If things at home don't feel right, if you're walking on eggshells or feeling controlled, you're not alone. Many people experience domestic abuse in its various forms. We want you to know that there are options available to you, and exploring them is a sign of strength. We provide a safe and confidential space to understand what those options are. 

    For immediate support seek the assistance of the police call 999. See their advice on the Police website.

    Breakdown Doesn't Have to Be Destructive: The Power of De-escalation

    The end of a relationship doesn't automatically mean an escalation into abuse or a barrage of accusations. By consciously choosing to de-escalate conflict, you can actively work to prevent these harmful outcomes. Learning practical strategies for calming arguments, understanding triggers, and communicating respectfully, even when emotions are high, can make a significant difference. This proactive approach is about taking responsibility for your reactions and creating a safer pathway through relationship breakdown, protecting everyone involved from potential harm and false allegations.

    Compassionate Support Through Family Court Proceedings

    We provide tailored guidance for family court proceedings involving domestic abuse, whether you're seeking protection, navigating child arrangements, or responding to allegations. 


    We help you understand your legal rights and options (like Non-Molestation and Occupation Orders), assist with evidence, prepare you for hearings, help you book a family law barrister to represent you at court. And we can provide you with details of connect some support services.
