Because we’re
a different breed
of lawyer.
Compliance is an integral part of doing ethical business – not just a box to tick.
But often when a lawyer is asked to give advice on compliance they will produce a convoluted document detailing all the problems a particular piece of legislation cause – without providing advice on potential solutions.
It was time for a new approach
At Novation, we believe that compliance can change minds. Increase sales. Reduce complaints. Add value. We can help you do things right and grow your business. We try to think more like entrepreneurs and less like lawyers. What we do is not about paying lip service to compliance but marrying it with good and ethical business practices.
Simply put: compliance is a gain. Not a pain. Work with us and you’ll see why.
The people behind the vision
Novation Consulting was founded by Elizabeth de Stadler and Paul Esselaar in 2013. Under the brand of Esselaar Attorneys, we’ve been providing law services since 2011 but felt the need to create a new company that could turn compliance on its head, shake the nonsense out of its pockets and present it in a fresh and exciting way.
Yes, we have values.
