19. Challenging the outdated view of compliance as business prevention, and how keeping up with the news is vital for compliance professionals, with Mike Chapman

In this episode, we speak with Mike Chapman, Managing Director responsible for the Global Business Acceptance Team at Allen & Overy, about what it takes to build a long and impactful career in legal risk and compliance.

Mike reflects on his journey from entry-level analyst at Linklaters to senior leadership roles at firms like Dentons and A&O, sharing how the compliance function has grown in scope, visibility, and strategic importance along the way.

We explore how global risk teams navigate reputational and commercial challenges in a fast-moving world, the unique dynamics of Swiss Verein structures, and how compliance professionals can develop the confidence to contribute at the highest levels.

If you're early in your career or managing a growing team, this conversation offers valuable insights into how to build influence, stay commercially aware, and keep learning, all while helping your firm move forward safely and effectively.
