Led by Paul Bryant
Paul founded PRB Compliance to bring senior, independent compliance expertise to multinational businesses operating where the risk is real and the answers aren't easy.
His background spans in-house and advisory work across resources, mining services, infrastructure, and listed corporates, with direct experience in investigations, whistleblower programs, and cross-border due diligence.
Engagements are led by Paul personally, working alongside general counsel, boards, and heads of compliance — typically as a project-based or fractional extension of an existing team.
