Welcome to the Zane Compliance Group. We provide compliance services to small businesses, start-ups, and non-profits that need compliance training, compliance manuals, hot lines, a monitor to review adherence to corporate policies or Corporate Integrity Agreements, or review of existing corporate policy statements to help set the right tone at the top.  We can even act as your part-time or temporary compliance officer or compliance manager until you have grown big enough to need full-time compliance personnel or until you find the right person to employ permanently.

Phillip Zane, the founder of Zane Compliance Group, practiced law for more than twenty years. He litigated cases, developed compliance programs, negotiated contracts and settlements, and counseled on compliance.  His clients included some of the world’s best known companies and not-yet-known start-ups, as well as senior executives and rank-and-file employees.  He currently serves as the chief compliance officer for a non-profit living history museum and the compliance officer for a small energy trading company. For several years he served as loss prevention counsel (akin to compliance counsel) for a very large law firm.

Phillip earned his bachelor’s degree in Economic History from Pomona College, where he was also an economics tutor.  After college, he was a Fellow of the Thomas J. Watson Foundation, doing research in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.  He attended graduate school at the University of Michigan where he received two Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowships, and law school at the New York University School of Law, where he received his Juris Doctor degree cum laude. He is an adjunct professor of healthcare law in the Health Administration & Policy Department at George Mason University.
