We began working with HiveRisk in 2023 and have found them to be responsive when we need to call on their expertise. They complement our in-house team when we encounter an unusual situation and are always quick to come back to us when we need it.
We were instructed by a client whose source of wealth derived from crypto trading. The amount was significant and the evidence confusing. We asked HiveRisk to help, they were great to work with, straightforward and clear in their advice and it was fascinating to hear from their specialist. I would thoroughly recommend HiveRisk for any crypto enquiries and will use them again.
Vincents have worked with Kate for a few years and with HiveRisk since its inception. What we wanted was someone who understands the commercial reality of running a law firm. Kate and her team at HiveRisk are very knowledgeable, personable and commercially practical when dealing with compliance issues.
We were very happy with the service that we have received from you. We found the experience with Gavin relatively painless and the conversations and report from him were very helpful in us better understanding the approach that an SRA visit would take and how they might view our current PCPs. The findings of the report will form the basis of some of our actions next year to improve our AML processes. Thanks for all your help.

We have used HiveRisk for a variety of reasons including an upcoming regulatory inspection as well as post inspection actions. We also engaged Hive Risk to assist on an ad hoc basis as well as for staff training and an embedded Compliance Service on a day to day basis.
Throughout our engagement we have always found them to be professional, flexible, approachable and practical in their approach to our requirements. They have been on the receiving of a lot of last minute urgent calls/emails and always dealt with them efficiently and effectively. I wouldn't (and won't) hesitate for a second to recommend them to anyone who asks!

We used HiveRisk to undertake both AML Regulation 18 and 21 Audits. Kate attended our site for one day, reviewing our documents, processes and undertaking file reviews. She was extremely helpful and provided us with some very useful feedback, which we adopted to improve our Firm Wide AML Risk Assessment. HiveRisk have always been helpful and swift to respond to any enquires that we may have.
We would like to thank Gavin at HiveRisk for all his guidance and support he gave to the practice during our recent ABS application with the SRA. This was a lengthy and complex process which Gavin was always available with advice and guidance. We would highly recommend HiveRisk and look forward to working with them in the future.
We entered into a 'compliance as a service' agreement with HiveRisk and have enjoyed a close working relationship with the whole HiveRisk team, with Kate Burt & Gavin Ball providing our business of 150+ employees with expert compliance support and practical solutions.
HiveRisk helped us to create a new suite of AML, IT and compliance policies and procedures; we also received training as well. They are extremely friendly, helpful and very responsive. Their background in the legal profession was invaluable when it came to understanding the needs of our small firm. While carrying out this work we received an SRA desktop audit request which they talked us through step by step. The result was extremely favourable with us receiving just one very minor point of guidance.
