Specialist risk management consultancy Karen Eckstein Ltd is celebrating its fifth anniversary.
Karen Eckstein Ltd is celebrating its fifth anniversary. Founded in 2020 by Karen Eckstein, a qualified solicitor and chartered tax adviser, the firm was created to address common professional negligence issues.
Karen’s experience defending claims against accountants, solicitors, and other professionals highlighted that most claims stem from administrative errors rather than complex technical mistakes. Recognising the need for proactive risk management, Karen left professional negligence defence behind to launch Karen Eckstein Ltd, dedicated to preventing claims before they arise. Over the past five years, the company has gained a reputation for its practical approach, ensuring risk management processes are effective and easy to implement.
In 2023, the firm welcomed Polly Coram, an experienced solicitor, to the team. Polly has since achieved her IRMCert qualification, further strengthening the firm’s ability to offer expert, dual-qualified risk management advice.
Reflecting on the company’s journey, Karen Eckstein said, “We are so lucky to have a supportive and growing network of clients and contacts who have helped us grow the business and wanted to thank them for being with us on our journey.
“We know that the first 5 years of a business’ life is the hardest so to reach that milestone is something we wanted to celebrate with those who have been with us supporting us along the way.
“We’re excited for the future and look forward to expanding our services, particularly with our new ‘Professional Friend’ service, which helps firms manage complaints and regulatory challenges.”
As part of its anniversary celebrations, Karen Eckstein Ltd is hosting a special event on Friday 11 April 2025, in Leeds city centre.
For those wishing to join the celebrations and toast to the firm’s continued success, contact Polly Coram.
