Legal & Regulatory Compliance

You have burnt the midnight oil for your business. Don’t let a single misstep jeopardise everything you’ve built. We, at Sterling Cooper Consultants, convert compliance burden into business edge with operating rhythms that safeguard trust and unlock growth. Our regulatory compliance consulting services cover policy design, risk assessment, control build and testing, continuous monitoring, and audit-ready reporting. We align people, processes, and systems with GDPR and UK GDPR, the FCA Handbook, SOX section 404, AML and sanctions duties, and security frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. These steps ensure your compliance programme reduces cost, prevents issues, and stands up to scrutiny.

Clear Roles and Rules

Strong outcomes start with clear roles and simple rules. Our regulatory compliance consulting services help you stay compliant with the laws by following these rules.

Visibility of Risks

You cannot manage what you cannot see, so we start with a plain risk list. We help you interpret what their worst effect could be on your business and then suggest a framework to avoid it.

Keeping Pace with Change

Regulations change, and everything else must keep pace. With our regulatory compliance consulting services, you are always up to date, and so is your strategy.

People at the Core

People make the controls work, so we keep guidance short and role-based. Every individual is aware of their responsibility in regulatory compliance.

Services

Our Regulatory Compliance Consulting Services

Governance and Policy Foundations
We draft a code of conduct and core policies, assign owners, and set review dates. Each policy links to the risk it caters to and the law it supports. A short handbook shows who approves, who checks, and how to log changes.

Risk Assessment and Controls
Our regulatory compliance consulting services identify causes, impacts, and indicators, and then we score each item for the effect. Controls are mapped to the risks with tests, owners, and due dates. Heat maps and simple charts help teams focus on what matters most.

Monitoring, Reporting, and Regulatory Response
We build a monitoring plan, set test cycles, and record results, storing supporting evidence so it’s easy to retrieve. Findings are ranked by risk, and each is assigned a clear action and target date. If a review or enquiry is due, we prepare review packs, track replies, and keep an audit log so nothing is missed.

Training, Culture, and Speak-Up
Our regulatory compliance consulting services design an employee reporting channel that is safe and simple, then track cases from report to close. Managers receive quick briefs with the top action plan for their teams. Trends are shared without names, so people learn and improve.

Industry-Specific Payroll
Every industry is different. Our managed payroll services UK are tailored for all sectors. These include schools, hospitals, hospitality, construction, and more.

Why Choose Us?

Senior Ownership

A senior lead stays close to your programme and attends key meetings. You get a clear view of risks, options, and next steps. Decisions are logged, and progress is tracked so you can show control at any time.

Practical, Right-Sized Design

We fit controls to the way you work rather than forcing a template. Forms, checklists, and audit trails are light but complete. This keeps quality high and admin low while meeting legal compliance duties.

Clear Evidence and Reporting

Boards and regulators want facts, not fluff. We provide one-page summaries before the details, with status, issues, and actions. Notes explain what changed, why it changed, and who owns the fix.

One Team for Legal and Compliance Needs

You avoid gaps when advice, process, and tools come from one place. Our regulatory compliance consulting services join policy, risk, monitoring, and response under a single plan. That plan shows how legal and compliance duties are met every day.

Payroll checks & reviews

As part of our managed payroll services UK, we regularly check your payroll for mistakes. This helps keep everything up to date and ensures your staff are always paid correctly.

Our Process

Discover and Define

We review rules, licences, and current controls, then agree on scope, risk appetite, and success measures. Roles and handoffs are set prior so that tasks progress without any delay. The plan also states how our regulatory compliance consulting services will report progress to leaders.

Build and Validate

We write policies, run risk workshops, and set control tests on a fixed timetable. Evidence folders, templates, and trackers are created so teams know exactly what to do. Drafts are reviewed with your owners and legal advisers before its go-live.

Run and Improve

Monitoring starts, results are logged, and actions are closed on time. We will brief you on changes to the rules and update controls where needed. Quarterly reviews show trends, costs, and wins, and they prove your programme is working across regulatory compliance services.

FAQ Question

Frequently Asked Questions

What problems does your compliance and risk advisory solve?

We help you set simple rules, map key risks, and prove that controls work. You get clear roles, short reports, and evidence that stands up to review. This reduces fines, delays, and rework across the business.

How do you assess our current risks and rules?

We review policies, licences, and recent issues, then run short workshops with your team. Risks are scored for likelihood and impact, and each one gets an owner, a test, and a review date. The result is a register you can use day to day.

What proof will a regulator expect to see?

They look for clean records: approved policies, training logs, control test results, issue and action lists, and board minutes. We build tidy evidence packs and a simple index so you can find items fast during any review.

Can you work with our team and tools?

Yes. We fit our method to your workflow, whether you use spreadsheets, a GRC system, or shared drives. We train owners, set handoffs, and keep the process light so it sticks.

How do you keep the programme current when rules change?

We run a change log, track new guidance, and update policies and tests on a set cycle. Brief notes explain what changed, why it matters, and who must act. This keeps your legal and compliance duties on track all year.
