Alan Cromer is Darby & Darby’s Legal Cashier and Compliance Officer, known for combining technical expertise with a collaborative, people-focused approach that supports the entire firm.

Alan joined Darby & Darby after relocating from Liverpool, where he worked for a large law firm. He brought with him a deep understanding of legal finance operations and quickly adapted to the dynamics of a high street firm. Since joining, he has taken on a central role in managing the firm’s accounts, implementing compliance processes, and mentoring junior staff.

He plays a critical role in ensuring the firm meets its obligations under the Solicitors Accounts Rules and wider regulatory frameworks, including anti-money laundering and due diligence. Alan has led the creation of firm-wide compliance systems that support consistency, free up fee-earner time, and provide a clear point of contact for compliance-related questions.

Alan is widely respected across the firm not only for his knowledge but also for his generosity with time and support. He regularly mentors junior staff and contributes to a positive, team-oriented culture. From process improvement to handmade office decorations, his influence is felt across every level of Darby & Darby.
