About Us
About Cambitas
Cambitas is a specialist regulatory, governance and commercial advisory practice. We advise financial services firms, fintech businesses, digital asset organisations and technology companies across the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.
Our principals bring decades of combined experience as General Counsel and senior in-house lawyers at major financial institutions and global technology companies. That perspective shapes everything we do: regulatory and commercial risk understood from inside regulated and technology-driven organisations, not observed from outside.
Our focus is regulatory clarity, governance strength and commercially aligned execution. We work directly with boards, senior management and founders on matters where regulatory outcomes affect business continuity, personal accountability and transaction value.
All advisory mandates are handled with discretion and professional discipline.

Our Position in the Market
Boards, senior managers and investors increasingly recognise that regulatory exposure, governance effectiveness and accountability frameworks directly affect business stability, valuation and growth. Cambitas operates at this intersection supporting clients across:
- Financial Services Regulatory Advisory
- FCA Authorisation and Licensing
- SMCR and Governance Frameworks
- Regulatory Compliance and Enforcement
- M&A
- Crypto and Digital Asset Regulation
- Governance and Risk Framework Design
- Data Protection and AI Governance
We integrate regulatory interpretation with governance implementation, ensuring that compliance is operationally sustainable.
Experience and Perspective
Cambitas combines decades of institutional experience advising regulated financial institutions, technology-driven businesses and market participants operating within complex regulatory environments. Our advisory spans:
- FCA-regulated financial services firms
- Venture-backed fintech companies
- Digital asset businesses
- Institutional investors and acquirers
- Boards and senior management teams
- Firms expanding into UAE regulatory frameworks
We support clients across the regulatory lifecycle — from authorisation and structuring through supervisory engagement, enforcement matters and transactional execution. This perspective ensures advice is commercially grounded and aligned with how regulators assess risk in practice.
Our Advisory Philosophy
Regulatory Interpretation
Understanding not only the rules, but how regulators apply them in supervisory and enforcement contexts.
Governance Architecture
Designing accountability structures, board frameworks and compliance systems that function in practice and withstand scrutiny.
Commercial Alignment
Ensuring regulatory positioning supports growth, transactions and long-term operational resilience.
How We Work
Cambitas is structured to provide direct, responsive and focused advisory without institutional layering. Every engagement is led personally by Tom, Jan or both. Our approach is:
- Structured and analytical
- Discreet and confidential
- Commercially pragmatic
- Governance-centred
- Long-term oriented
We work with clients on a retained basis for ongoing regulatory and commercial support, on a project basis for discrete matters including authorisation, transactions, fundraising and enforcement response, and as embedded counsel working alongside in-house teams on complex or extended mandates. We offer flexible fee arrangements, from hourly rates to fixed or capped fees to monthly retainers to value-based fees. Where matters require broader resource or specialist jurisdiction coverage, we work alongside established networks of regulatory, tax and corporate advisers. Initial conversations are always confidential and without obligation.
