Amy Bell
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
About Amy
I’m the founder of Teal Compliance and Teal Legal and have worked in the legal sector for two decades as both a solicitor and a compliance consultant.
I’m passionate about helping law firms adapt to the changing legal landscape. During my career, I became more and more aware of the struggles that small firms faced with compliance. So, in 2017 I launched Amy Bell Compliance Limited, followed by Teal Compliance Limited in January 2018. Since then I’ve assembled a team of experts who offer practical and effective compliance support .
I’m proud of the support my team provides to law firms, through consultancy services and training, ensuring everyone in the firms we work with understand compliance and how to apply risk management principles that improve client service and deliver efficiencies.
Expertise
I have a vast amount of expertise in all areas of compliance, such as AML compliance, regulatory compliance, data protection, and risk management.
Given my extensive compliance experience, I’m Chair of the Law Society’s Money Laundering Task Force, where I represent the Solicitors profession at Government and in Europe, and I regularly speak for the Law Society, the ARK Group, MBL Seminars as well as local Law Societies.
I’m the author of ‘Solicitors and Money Laundering and Compliance That Works’ which was published in Autumn 2022. I’m also the author of the Law Society’s Anti-Bribery Toolkit and their Anti-Money Laundering Training courses.
Career highlights
I’m extremely passionate about the work I do, and love getting law firms on the right track, ensuring that the firm, its lawyers, and their clients are safe. I therefore have many career highlights relating the work I’ve done with my clients.
However, one of my greatest achievements is building my team of experts. Between them, they have over one hundred years’ worth of experience, so they’re able to anticipate issues before they arise and provide robust strategies that work.
