NOVATION IS A LEGAL, COMPLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY
THAT TURNS YOUR GRC ON ITS HEAD, SHAKES THE NONSENSE OUT OF ITS POCKETS, AND PUTS IT THE RIGHT WAY UP.

We believe in a world where you do the right thing – even when no one is watching – and make more money in the process. Where people actually enjoy reading fine print. Where the letter of the law is liberating, not suffocating. 

We’re a unique interdisciplinary gang of rehabilitated lawyers, change managers, design thinkers, information designers, risk managers, chaos pilots and troublemakers. We relentlessly push, prod, innovate and educate. We’re uncompromising – in all the good ways. We’re thought leaders because we actually think differently. We live to turn WTF into AHA. 

Because reputation is everything, we approach every project knowing that yours – and ours – is on the line. We do whatever it takes to foster a compliance culture, change attitudes, and help you grow your business.
