Anti Money Laundering Checks for Law Firms
Taking a balanced approach to AML
AML Can Be Complex
Compliance with money laundering obligations is one of the greatest challenges for the legal sector in the UK today.
Law firms must comply with due diligence requirements when dealing with clients and transactions. Due diligence requirements can be complex and will vary depending on the type and nature of the client, the service provided, and the jurisdiction involved. This can be achieved by obtaining original documentation, although it can take time to arrange a meeting with your client or paying for important documents through the post. Where there are multiple parties it can be difficult.
