The smartest business solutions come when we work together – international, but operating as one integrated team.

Collaborative, agile and partner led: that’s Simmons & Simmons. A law firm that challenges, creates new possibilities and offers opinions not just option. A law firm that acts as your business partner and works with you, not for you.

We focus on four highly regulated sectors (asset management and investment funds, financial institutions, healthcare and life sciences and technology, media and communications) – using our specialist skills to understand your business, and the forces at play around it. All grounded in exceptional knowledge of the legal detail.

 This is how we consistently deliver smarter, more efficient ways to tackle our clients’ most complex challenges.

Avyse Partners are regulatory consultants whose expertise covers Governance, Conduct, Financial Crime and ESG. They provide practical expertise to navigate both the volume and complexity of regulation. On average Avyse consultants have 14 years’ experience which will always include working in house. They understand compliance challenges from a firm’s perspective. Their core customer base is UK based foreign banks.

Avyse Partners look to bring everything back to purpose. Their purpose philosophy is aligned with (current) FCA thinking on outcomes – what is regulation trying to achieve? Avyse are of the view that this can sometimes get lost within the sheer volume of regulation.

In March 2022 Avyse Partners were appointed to the FCA’s Skilled Person Panel for four Lots – Governance, Risks and Controls, Conduct of Business and Financial Crime. And since then they have undertaken 13 of these reviews across all Lots, applying their common sense, proportionate, outcomes focused perspective.
