Helping you navigate the volume and complexity of regulation

Purpose-driven. Always.

Adding value through practical advice.

Regulatory specialists in financial crime prevention, conduct, compliance and ESG.

Who we work with

We help firms in a broad variety of sectors. Whilst the regulatory rules and guidance are often similar, the way these need to be interpreted will differ. And although our client base can range from a tier 1 bank to a pet insurer, they are united by a desire to receive sensible, practical advice that allows them to effectively meet their regulatory obligations, from consultants that do not hide behind a rule book. Below, we have set out a selection of sectors where we have significant experience in helping firms:

Avyse Partners was founded in 2021.
We had and still have two main goals.

Client experience:

Firstly, we want to add real value to our clients’ business. And we want clients to enjoy working with us. We think regulatory consulting is ripe for disruption. Over the years the purpose of regulation has in many instances been lost. Competitors have been keen to encourage outdated controls that add negligible value because it suits their bottom line. Outcomes, and whether harm has actually been reduced – have been an afterthought. We love regulation, but we won’t hide behind a rule book. We will have sensible conversations with a range of business stakeholders about how they can extract maximum value from their compliance obligations.

Employee experience:

We want our staff to love working at Avyse Partners. We treat people like adults. We have a high trust environment. We enjoy ourselves. We recognise that work should not be the most important thing in someone’s life. Our SAFE values are at the heart of who we are. And ultimately we are firmly of the view that if we have a happy, highly engaged workforce, the main beneficiaries will be our clients.

Where we work

We're based in London, but we work globally. The specifics of regulation may vary country to country, but the principles are generally the same. This is where our focus on purpose and outcomes really sets us apart. We'll make sure jurisdiction specific details are covered, but we're highly confident in our ability to adapt to local requirements to keep you compliant. In recent years our team have worked on site, to local regulations, in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, France, Norway, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Hong Kong, Philippines, Singapore, Australia, Taiwan, Malaysia, Cayman Islands, Barbados, Dominica and UAE.

  • As MLRO of a UK retail bank I have found Avyse Partners to be a trusted and insightful partner. Their expertise and purpose-driven approach has empowered us to manage financial crime risk with confidence.

    Barry Good, UK MLRO - Bank of Ireland

  • I highly recommend their services. Avyse takes the time to get to know your business and provides targeted and pragmatic advice that works for you and your setup. They have deep knowledge of financial regulation and best practice. But what makes them stand out is their ability to draw on their experience as practitioners and take that knowledge and apply it to your circumstances, always recognising that the main challenge is often how advice is operationalised in an efficient and proportional manner.

    Peter Cassizzi, UK Head of Compliance – DNB Bank

  • Avyse consultants provide practical advice and expertise. However the two main differentiators are that they listen and they see the bigger picture. As a result I get personalised advice (as opposed to stock responses) that take into account firm wide objectives.

    Vlad Petrov, Head of FCC Advisory & Assurance – Danske Bank

  • Avyse Partners have made a real and tangible difference to our regulatory standing in the last year. Their knowledgeable, practical advice and personal approach sets them apart as valued advisors. They don’t just present an answer or solution, they help improve the critical thinking and problem-solving capabilities of the team, so that we get better.

    Richard Swales, Chief Risk & Compliance Officer - Paysafe

  • Avyse consistently provide us with support and advice, becoming a trusted and reliable business partner.

    Simon Ibbitson, UK Branch Manager - LGT Bank

  • Avyse provide us with an effective balance of challenge, support, and guidance whilst demonstrating an ability to listen and adapt to our individual business circumstances. A highly recommended partner.
