Teresa Gwilt

Business and Compliance Manager

As Davey Law’s Business and Compliance Manager, my role is to ensure we meet the high standards set by our regulator, the Solicitors Regulation Authority. Day to day I work closely with my compliance team colleagues, including our COLP Peter Davies (Compliance Officer for Legal Practice), our COFA Chris Mills (Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration), and Diana Probert our Legal Cashier, who lives and breathes Solicitors’ Accounts Rules.

Regulation and compliance may not sound very exciting, and trying to keep up can be a challenge, but at the end of the day it’s all about delivering the best possible service and experience to our clients.

I also work closely with the Directors to ensure that our business systems and processes are robust and ready to meet current and future challenges.

When I’m not busy with work or family, I love planning the renovation of the converted Victorian asylum ward I live in with my partner, and scouring antiques fairs for beautiful things. We wanted to create a slightly gothic garden to suit the age and character of the property, and if overgrown and impassable count as gothic, we’re nearly there.

I’m also a fluent Italian speaker, having travelled and lived overseas with my family as a child before settling in lovely Herefordshire.
