WELCOME TO ZEST
Don’t Just Take Our Word For It…
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lisa for many years — and for good reason. Quite simply, I wouldn’t want to be without her. Lisa consistently goes above and beyond in her dedication to both her work and her clients. We have complete trust in her judgment and guidance, and the support she provides to our business is truly invaluable.
The same praise extends to Ciara, who is undoubtedly a star in the making. Her attention to detail, work ethic, reliability, and responsiveness are exceptional.
The entire Zest team is a pleasure to work with — thank you!
Practice Manager, London law Firm
Zest not only provide peace of mind on the day to day running of our firm and the requirements of COLP/COFA compliance, but she is also always on hand to provide guidance and information on other, sometimes quite complex, issues. Her knowledge and support are invaluable to us and her friendly and approachable manner make her a real pleasure to work with. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone.
Practice Manager, London Law Firm
Zest delivered AML and onboarding compliance training that was engaging and tailored to our practice areas. Even our more experienced fee-earners found it valuable, and we’ve already updated several internal procedures based on the session.
Training Coordinator, Boutique Law Firm
Our SRA application would have been a nightmare without Zest. The team guided us through the entire ABS application process with absolute professionalism. They helped us prepare everything—from the business plan to liaising directly with the SRA—and kept the project moving. We were authorised far faster than we expected
Director, New Law Firm Startup
Zest Compliance is like having an in-house compliance team on call.
We’ve been on Zest’s Compliance Retainer for over a year now, and the support is genuinely first class. From policy drafting to file reviews and breach management, everything is handled with precision and a deep understanding of SRA requirements. They keep us compliant—and sane!
Managing Partner, High Street Law Firm
Compliance is a headache and complex area for most law firms. If you run small firm, it is frequently an unwelcome distraction that takes a disproportionate amount of time away from your day to day business and fee earning. I choose external assistance for this and have been very impressed with Zest. They cut through the complexities of compliance and advises on crux of any issues that arise. Zest provide practical, strategic and commercially focussed solutions and is highly knowledgeable in all issues of law firm regulation. They helped set up expert and easy to follow policies and procedures, bespoke to our firm which ensures compliance is this highly regulated sector and provides much needed peace of mind. They really are experts in their field and I would not hesitate to recommend zest to anyone looking for advice on a specific issue or more general assistance to free you up in focussing on your business.
