In this episode, we talk to Alexandra Iliff, COLP and Group Legal Compliance Officer at Shakespeare Martineau and AMPA Group, about navigating risk and compliance in complex, multidisciplinary legal businesses.

Alexandra shares her career journey from litigation to regulatory work at the SRA, and ultimately into senior in-house compliance roles, where she now oversees risk across a wide group of law firms and non-legal entities.

We explore what it means to lead compliance across brands, manage competing regulatory regimes, and preserve independence in a role that often requires difficult decisions and firm boundaries.

Whether you're just starting out or building towards a leadership role, Alexandra offers clear advice on getting a foothold in compliance, building trust with stakeholders, and recognising that in this career, the work is never really done.
