Managing Risk, 25, 11/07/2008 Our feature interview in this issue is provided by Bill Richards, until recently Senior Partner in LG, but now having made the transition to head of compliance at the firm. Bill makes some striking observations on the regulatory and compliance challenges for large firms. David McIntosh, chair of the City of London Law Society, offers some forthright opinions on the way the SRA conducts its audit visits to law firms.

Elsewhere, we have contributions on the cost of compliance (and non-compliance) from John Verry of TLT; Edward Coulson of Robin Simon LLP addresses the increasing impact of complaints handling for law firms; and Matthew Moore re-visits the vexed issue of tipping-off under anti-money laundering legislation.
Managing Risk, 24, 18/03/2008 Regulation is a theme that will surely dominate the coming year for large firms.

Financial management is now firmly on the radar with the anticipated recession. Andrew Otterburn and Edward Coulson direct their attention to some key issues.

Contributions from Andrew Rose of Clifford Chance and Neil Cameron directly address this issue.
