The Alexander Christian Story
Our Journey
The Principal Solicitor and Founder of Alexander Christian brings over three decades of legal experience to the firm, which has evolved into a specialist boutique practice focused on Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance and Family Law.
Since founding Alexander Christian in 2006, they have guided clients through complex and often sensitive legal matters, building a reputation for discretion, clarity, and client-focused support.
Drawing on that deep legal grounding, we work in the area of Family Law, where we provide sensitive, grounded, support.
Alexander Christian | AML Compliance Services
Your Journey
Your Concerns
Your firm carries regulatory responsibilities that cannot be ignored — but AML compliance doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, though we appreciate that it can.
Whether you’re quietly concerned about your last Regulation 21 audit, unsure if your systems are keeping pace, or simply aware that things have “ticked along” without review, we help you take control with clarity and confidence.
How We Support You
We work alongside your team in a discreet, proportionate way — offering independent insight, practical guidance, and hands-on support.
Our Core Services
Mock AML audits – a rehearsal that identifies weaknesses before the regulator does.
Independent Regulation 21 audits – fulfilling your formal obligation with a proportionate, independent review.
File reviews & staff interviews – checking that practice matches policy.
Targeted AML support – focused advice on red flags, CDD, source of funds, or SARs.
Temporary AML/KYC support – experienced help when you face resource gaps.
The Benefits for You
Reassurance – you have a point of contact, and no longer feel siloed.
Confidence – in continuously improving your AML framework.
Clarity – about what your obligations mean in practice, for you and your team.

Your Journey
Your Concerns
Separation, divorce, and child arrangements bring uncertainty and heightened emotions. You may feel conflicted, worried about your children, or unsure how to move forward with dignity and fairness.
We listen to your story, understand your priorities, and help you find a way through with calm, clear guidance.
How We Support You
We encourage low-conflict, child-focused approaches, supporting you to resolve matters with dignity and foresight. Where out-of-court options are possible, we help you explore them; and where court proceedings are necessary, we stand beside you with steady representation.
Our Core Services
Divorce – guiding you through the legal and emotional process.
Financial matters – reaching fair agreements about finances and assets.
Child arrangements – putting your children’s wellbeing at the heart of decisions.
Out-of-court resolution – negotiation, mediation, collaborative law, or arbitration to reduce conflict and cost.
The Benefits for You
Reassurance – your voice is heard, your concerns understood, and your children’s wellbeing prioritised.
Confidence – in making informed choices, knowing you are supported at every step.
Clarity – about your options, the process, and the way forward, so you feel guided rather than overwhelmed.

Navigating Positive Change
Your Journey

Our role is to help you see the picture, make informed decisions, and navigate a path that leads to constructive, change.
Remember after winter comes spring. Embrace challenges as an opportunity for growth.
