The Practice

FICA compliance, handled properly.


Chasing Compliance is the dedicated compliance consulting practice within Gerber Attorneys. It helps law firms meet their obligations under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act.

Comprehensive and compliant FICA practices in a law firm can quickly become overwhelming without the proper approach. Your Risk Management and Compliance Programme (RMCP) is the recipe, the foundation to streamlined and compliant client onboarding. Chasing Compliance comes in and implements the necessary tools and processes to keep a firm compliant.

The engagement is shaped to fit: Drafting the firm's RMCP, process optimisation, digital solution implementaion and ongoing compliance support, or anything between.
