Risk and Regulatory Compliance

In today’s complex and fast-moving regulatory environment, a single oversight can trigger severe financial penalties, reputational damage, or even loss of licence to operate. Jireh & Greys Attorneys partners with boards, senior management, compliance teams, and in-house counsel to anticipate, manage, and resolve regulatory risk before it escalates.

Our Risk & Regulatory Compliance practice advises financial institutions, fintechs, payment service providers, insurers, asset managers, consumer credit firms, crypto-asset businesses, and corporates in all regulated sectors on the full spectrum of regulatory obligations, including:

• Licensing and authorisation applications with the FSCA, SARB, PA, FSC, SEC, FCA, CBI, and other domestic and international regulators
• Design and implementation of robust compliance frameworks, policies, governance structures, and accountability regimes
• Financial crime prevention – anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), sanctions compliance, anti-bribery & corruption, and fraud risk management
• Conduct risk, treating customers fairly (TCF), consumer protection, fairness in financial services, and vulnerable-client strategies
• Prudential requirements, capital adequacy, liquidity, recovery and resolution planning, and stress testing
• Data protection, privacy, cybersecurity, operational resilience, and third-party/outsourcing risk (including cloud arrangements)
