Business introduction
Experts in global financial services regulation
We help our clients meet complex and evolving regulatory obligations, providing certainty and peace of mind. We work with firms of every size across the financial services sector, supporting clients managing regulatory change and dealing with regulatory scrutiny
Bovill was founded in 1999 by Ben Blackett-Ord and began as a small but specialist firm of compliance consultants. In 2024, Bovill Newgate was formed through a merger with the London-based firm Newgate Compliance.
At Bovill Newgate, we help you balance regulatory and commercial pressures. We understand the challenges you face. Navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape is becoming harder than ever, with legacy technologies, stretched teams and competing priorities distracting you from what really matters. Our team – a unique blend of industry professionals and ex-regulators, cuts through complexity, offering tailored solutions that unlock new value. With our finger on the pulse, we understand where regulators are focusing now, where they’re likely to focus in the future, and what will stand up to scrutiny in the long term. We’re not just about filling out forms and ticking boxes. As people people, we love to get to know our clients and their ambitions. Whether you are a start-up, a multinational or somewhere in the middle – our job is to make sure you get things right. With our deep expertise, we translate complex regulations into proportionate and pragmatic strategies that keep you compliant and foster sustainable growth. We keep you on the right side of regulatory change and compliance, and your business on track.
Peace of mind. Reduced risk. Problem solved.
