Conduct Counsel

About Conduct Counsel

Conduct Counsel provides tailored workplace conduct and culture training, and risk management frameworks, for financial services firms. We help you set the tone on conduct and bring your culture to life in your teams — with training and tools designed around the regulatory and employment context that shapes conduct expectations, including equality and anti-harassment standards, non-financial misconduct, and the FCA's COCON, FIT and SYSC 18. Training. A customisable suite of e-learning and live courses that let you set your own conduct and culture standards and communicate them clearly. Tailored by role level, with bespoke sessions for leaders and Senior Managers (SMFs). We go well beyond tick-box training: real, practical scenarios that equip your people to handle difficult situations with confidence, and messaging that builds a culture of respect rather than a compliance chore. Risk Assessments. Practical, tailored assessments on harassment and workplace culture that help you foster a culture of continuous improvement — designed around the equality and regulatory landscape, including the preventative duties on harassment. Policies & Frameworks. We help you turn your standards into clear, human, readable policies across whistleblowing, anti-harassment and dignity at work. Our focus is communication and culture: plain-English frameworks that express how your firm expects people to behave. Conduct Counsel is founded by Alison Sneddon, a solicitor who is regulated by the SRA. Our services are not provided as a solicitor or law firm and do not constitute regulated legal work. As such, the SRA minimum-terms for professional indemnity insurance, access to the SRA Compensation Fund and Legal Ombudsman complaint routes do not apply. Our services are backed by commercial insurance coverage (details available on request) and if anything ever falls short of your expectations, we’d ask you to raise it with us directly through your dedicated client services contact.
