J&H-W was originally formed in the autumn of 2009 following dialogue with clients and regulators to provide an independent risk and regulatory advisory service. This includes providing support and advice for Boards and Senior Management, combined with our very hands-on operating model. We are recognised as being an expert provider of tailored, discreet, risk and regulatory advice and assistance to a number of financial services firms on a cross sector basis.
