AML & CFT
Our team understands the critical importance of implementing robust anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) policies for businesses engaged in financial services, gambling, and other regulated sectors.
With increasing regulatory demands and heightened enforcement, navigating the complexities of AML/CFT laws and best practices has become more challenging. Companies face growing pressure to stay compliant, avoid regulatory breaches, and protect their reputation.
We are equipped to provide guidance on AML/CFT obligations across a range of industries, including gaming and gambling, financial services, and virtual financial assets. We assist clients in interpreting regulations, refining policies, addressing compliance gaps, and enhancing processes such as client onboarding, monitoring, reporting, and staff training. Our goal is to help reduce risks and support the long-term success of our clients’ business.
Our lawyers are trained to take a legally robust and pragmatic approach, drawing where necessary on the expertise of our law firm’s specialists across tax, white collar crime, dispute resolution, and fintech practice areas.
