Why law firms use CompanyChange Alerts

It also provides an audit trail for Compliance and Governance reviews.With the Firm-Wide subscription you are also be alerted to upcoming and overdue ECCTA verification deadlines and a monthly digest report showing ECCTA verification notifications.

It is never sold or shared with third parties.The service is designed to support GDPR-aligned handling of professional compliance information within regulated legal environments.
A note from the founder
I built CompanyChange Alerts after realising how easy it is for important Companies House changes to be missed during normal fee-earning work. My mission statement is:
"To give compliance teams a clear, reliable way to stay informed without adding more manual process."
Meet the founder
Karl Shaw
Director of CompanyChange Alerts
My name is Karl Shaw and I founded CompanyChange Alerts after more than 25 years in operational type roles where accuracy, data handling and operational reliability were essential.For the past five years I have run my own business providing data and consultancy to a Marketing company, including responsibility to keep large databases accurate and up to date. Through this work I saw first-hand how difficult and time consuming it can be to manually maintain important records, and how easy it is for critical updates to be missed.CompanyChange Alerts was created to solve that problem. To automatically monitor Companies House information and provide clear, structured alerts so compliance teams can stay informed without adding more manual process.
Background
I am naturally detail-focused and have spent much of my working life analysing information, working with data and building ways to reduce risk and improve accuracy. I have used Excel and data-driven systems extensively for over two decades.My aim is not to build a large technology company, but to provide a dependable, well-run service that legal and governance professionals can rely on long term.
Outside of work
I am a father of two, now adult, children and value the time I spend with family.I have a long-standing interest in weather forecasting and storm chasing, which reflects the same attention to patterns, monitoring and forward planning that I use in my professional work.I also enjoy the British countryside and feel most at home in places such as the Peak District which I am lucky to live nearby.I am not a salesperson by nature. Which is why CompanyChange Alerts is designed to speak for itself through clarity, reliability and consistent operation rather than marketing language or pressure to buy.
