Corporate Compliance

Overview   |   CEO Message   |   Corporate Compliance   |   Management   |   Technology

William F. Sutton Post & Schell takes compliance seriously. We strive daily for compliance with our clients’ expectations, our Firm’s policies, procedures and “Best Practices” and, the statutes,
rules and codes of conduct that govern the legal profession. To advance these goals, we educate our lawyers, monitor our cases, audit our files and foster a culture of compliance. We believe that our clients should expect no less from our Firm, or any other law firm.

To further strengthen our culture of compliance, we are proud to be among the first law firms to create a full-time position of Chief Compliance Officer (CCO). We are equally proud that one of our most experienced litigation partners, William F. Sutton, Esquire, has been appointed to fill this very important position.

Bill reports directly to the Firm’s Shareholders and to the C.E.O.  He is responsible for our Firm’s compliance with: 

  • Our clients' professional services expectations; 

  • Our Quality Assurance & Quality Improvement Programs; 

  • Our legal services and billing practices peer review and auditing program; 

  • Our continuing legal and ethical education program; and, 

  • State and federal statutes, regulations and judicial authority that govern the day-to-day corporate conduct of our Firm.

Bill works proactively and directly with our proprietary and not-for-profit clients to help them better understand and remain sensitive to their corporate expectations, and, in the process, help ensure that we continue to enthusiastically adhere to the standards of conduct for the legal profession. 

Please feel free to contact Bill at 215.587.1059, or by e-mail at wsutton@postschell.com if he can be of service to you and your organization.
