About Konexo
Konexo was developed in 2011 by global law firm Eversheds Sutherland. As pioneers in alternative legal service provision, Konexo provides an extended range of legal and compliance services – all supported by advanced technology, smart systems, and bright minds. We work extremely closely with our Financial Services lawyers, identifying, pitching for and winning new client mandates to support firms that are either proactively enhancing their internal compliance systems and controls or reacting to regulatory scrutiny through thematic reviews or enhanced supervision.
Our Financial Services consultancy supports leading banks, fintechs, asset managers and insurance firms with specialist regulatory, compliance and operational resourcing solutions.
