   24. The global fight against dirty money, with Graham Barrow

   In this episode, we speak with Graham Barrow (https://www.linkedin.com/in/greybrow53/), financial crime investigator and co-host of The Dark Money Files (https://www.thedarkmoneyfiles.com/)podcast, about the global fight against dirty money and the unexpected path that led him there. Graham shares how a chance training contract catapulted him into the world of financial crime, taking him from crash courses in compliance to high-risk assignments in Mexico and Istanbul, where cartel cash and terrorism risks were all too real. We explore how his investigative writing helped uncover multi-billion-dollar scandals and how he uses storytelling, humour, and human impact to bring financial crime to life. With practical insights on scams, fraud prevention, and the dark underbelly of the global financial system, this episode is a must-listen for anyone working in compliance, or simply wondering where the money goes when no one’s watching. --- Thank you so much for listening to this episode.

   23. Risk and compliance as a commercial enabler with Hinesh Mistry

   In this episode, we sit down with Hinesh Mistry (https://www.linkedin.com/in/hinesh-mistry-90b51a39/), Director of Risk and Compliance at Howard Kennedy (https://www.howardkennedy.com/), to explore his fascinating career journey and the evolving role of compliance in the legal industry. From fee-earning in litigation to shaping regulatory policy at the SRA, and now leading high-impact compliance teams, Hinesh shares what he’s learned along the way, including why risk and compliance should be seen as commercial enablers, not just cost centres. We also dive into the international dimension of compliance, discussing the challenges of working across jurisdictions and cultures, and how global law firms can stay both locally compliant and strategically consistent. Whether you’re early in your career or aiming for leadership, this episode is packed with insights on embracing opportunity, making confident decisions, and building a broad understanding of how law firms operate as businesses. --- Thank you so much for listening to this episode.

   22. Navigating risk and compliance in complex, multidisciplinary legal businesses, with Alexandra Iliff

   In this episode, we talk to Alexandra Iliff (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexandra-iliff-2b2831103/), COLP and Group Legal Compliance Officer at Shakespeare Martineau (https://www.shma.co.uk/) and AMPA Group (https://ampa.co.uk/), 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. --- Thank you so much for listening to this episode.
