Baljeet Harley

I’m an Associate at Teal Compliance, and I have worked in the legal sector for over 12 years. I have been helping law firms with regulatory and anti-money laundering issues for over 6 years and qualified as a solicitor in 2023.

Before joining Teal, I worked in a professional practices team providing regulatory and AML guidance and support to law firms and professional individuals. This included assisting firms with large-scale due diligence projects, internal and external investigations, tailored compliance advice, restructuring and self-reporting to the SRA.

Before working in compliance, I worked in several different roles in a variety of law firms, ranging from a sole practitioner to a large international law firm.

In my current role at Teal, I use my experience to help law firms build a compliance framework that works for them.

Expertise

I have a broad range of expertise in both AML and regulatory compliance. In relation to AML, I have experience in carrying out audits, policy reviews and drafting policies and risk assessment documents. For regulatory, I carry out regulatory reviews, previously assisted with internal and external investigations and prepared self-reports to the SRA on behalf of firms.

Career Highlights

Working as part of a professional practices team enabled me to develop my passion for compliance. I assisted clients with large and complex regulatory investigations and enjoyed helping clients to achieve the best outcome possible.

I currently enjoy carrying out AML Audits, and helping firms to not only identify areas for improvement but also areas that the firm are doing well.
