Farrer & Co is synonymous with the highest quality legal advice and service.

We advise individuals, families, businesses, financial services, educational and not-for-profit organisations on every aspect of the law, wherever the need arises. From our offices in London we work with trusted professionals around the world to deliver a seamless international service.

Our clients present us with complex and varied challenges. Whether that's a complicated family trust issue, a multinational corporate transaction, or an emerging threat to their reputation, they need clear thinkers who can advise on the best solutions, fast thinkers when speed is of the essence and agile thinkers who can produce a fresh approach to get the job done. That's why they choose us.

Our clients value our in-depth knowledge, technical excellence and diversity of disciplines. But what really binds our long-standing relationships with them is our approach: pragmatic, plain speaking and always steadfast in our values, which we hold dear. Values which mean we gain our clients' trust, always strive to do the right thing, and aim for the best results for them.

Superb client service sits at the heart of everything we do. We are modern lawyers with timeless values.

Cosegic provides assistance with FCA authorisation, SEC registration, ongoing consulting, prudential services, online training and compliance software.
We employ over 60 individuals who work together in industry specialist teams, servicing over 800 clients from the following sectors: wholesale investment firms (including hedge funds, private market firms, corporate finance and brokers), capital markets (including asset managers and broker/dealers), wealth management, payment services and cryptoassets, consumer credit and insurance and lending.

In the twenty years we have been supporting firms, compliance obligations have increased significantly. In particular, more responsibility is being placed on senior management and firms have to recognise and prioritise the needs of the consumer more than ever before. To support firms in being both commercially successful, whilst managing their compliance risk, we actively work with them to build compliance into what they do on a day to day basis, rather than a bolt on, or an afterthought. We have consistently found that this gets the best possible outcome for all concerned.

In addition, with increasingly complex regulation, businesses are seeking multi-sector specialist partners more than ever to guide them through all aspects of their compliance journey. Our wide range of financial sector experts come together on a regular basis to discuss their interactions with the FCA and the regulatory trends that they are seeing. This provides us with a more informed understanding of the FCA than our competitors, ensuring that we offer our clients solutions that are most appropriate to their needs. Our breadth of experience allows us to balance firms’ business objectives with their compliance requirements.

We have built our services and offerings specifically to help our clients confidently navigate regulation in a way that will keep their vision and objectives intact. It's a proven formula that has helped more than 1,100 firms achieve regulatory authorisation and more than 800 firms rely on our ongoing compliance support and guidance.
