PHILOSOPHY

We make businesses more profitable by simplifying compliance.  The regulatory environment continues to grow more complicated.  This problem is exacerbated by inconsistent regulatory requirements across jurisdictions.  While compliance is not simple, we have the experience, intellect and judgment to make it simpler - which leads to better, faster and more profitable outcomes.

THE TEAM

Chris, a New York qualified lawyer, and Felicia, an experienced compliance officer who has worked with both large and small financial institutions, worked together at a Southeast Asia focused, boutique investment bank where they successfully faced and resolved typical compliance issues including regulatory inspections, satisfying regulatory requirements and maintaining best practices in corporate governance.  They have now re-teamed to launch Holland & Marie.
