We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your business, objectives, and specific legal requirements. This allows us to assess the scope of work, understand the organisational culture and provide clear guidance on how we can support you.
Following our initial discussion, we provide a detailed proposal outlining our recommended approach, scope of services, timeline, and transparent fee structure. Once agreed, we formalise the engagement with clear terms of reference.
We conduct thorough analysis of your current position, identifying risks, opportunities, and compliance gaps. This includes reviewing existing documentation, assessing processes, and understanding your operational context.
Based on our findings, we develop clear, practical strategies that address your specific needs. We present our recommendations with detailed rationale and discuss implementation considerations.
We provide hands-on support throughout implementation, including drafting documentation, developing policies, coordinating with stakeholders, and ensuring smooth execution of agreed strategies.
Beyond initial implementation, we remain available for ongoing guidance, regulatory updates, and support as your business evolves. Many clients choose to retain us for continuous advisory services.
