Business introduction
Helping our clients do the right thing
We’re specialists in financial regulation. Whether you need a partner to deliver regulatory change, support dealing with the regulator, help with day-to-day compliance, or simply peace of mind you’re on the right track, we’re here to help
Bovill was founded in 1999 by Ben Blackett-Ord and began as a small but specialist firm of compliance consultants. Based in London, Bovill was built up on a solid foundation of long-term clients for whom we provide compliance advice.
Today, Bovill is a global financial services regulatory consultancy with offices in London, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Americas. We work with clients internationally on every element of regulation. We help firms build projects to respond to significant regulatory change, or give them peace of mind they’re doing the right thing.
