A qualified coach with real business experience

Coaching and mentoring for founders, COLPs and senior professionals who want to succeed without burning out and without compromising their values.
 

It can be very lonely running a business, leading a team or simply striving for something more. We rarely make the time to step back and think clearly about where we are, where we want to go and what might quietly be getting in the way. A good coach gives you the space to think properly, someone you can speak to openly about what is really going on, and provide steady support as you navigate the transitions ahead.

​

I love helping people get clear on what truly matters to them, and then walking alongside them as we work through the obstacles between where they are and where they want to be. Having founded, scaled and exited a successful business myself, I also understand the pressure and the privilege of leadership.

About

My name is Andy Donovan

I founded and led a specialist compliance consultancy and training provider for over a decade, growing it into a multi-million-pound advisory business before stepping down as CEO in 2025 following its acquisition by a large private equity group.

​

My career spans more than 20 years across legal practice, in-house roles, building and leading a professional services business, and coaching. This includes seven years at the Solicitors Regulation Authority, where I ultimately managed the General Counsel team and contributed to the development of the regulatory framework still in use today.

​

Over time, my work with investors and law firms expanded beyond regulatory support into broader business strategy and leadership development. Through Attuned Consulting, I continue to support ambitious lawyers and law firms on regulatory matters and training, alongside broader coaching and management consultancy.

Andrew is superb. He is professional, likeable, knowledgeable and responsive to issues which arise out of the blue. He gives his full attention and is absolutely invested in his clients’ success. He installs confidence from the word go. He has our full trust and we consider him part of the team (whether he likes it or not)! Highly recommended.
