Anti Money Laundering

Money laundering is the process of making illegally-gained proceeds (i.e. “dirty money”) appear legal (i.e. “clean”). It is typically done by disguising the proceeds as legitimate funds through a series of transactions. Money laundering is a criminal offense and it is considered a serious crime, as it enables the proceeds of criminal activities to be used without detection by law enforcement.

Our focus on specific areas such as financial crime, compliance and regulatory defense, and white-collar criminal defense. It’s also important to have a thorough understanding of the laws and regulations that govern the financial industry, specifically the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations and be able to stay up-to-date with any changes or developments. Additionally, you should be familiar with the various techniques and methods used for money laundering, and be able to provide advice on compliance matters and represent clients in AML-related investigations and litigation.

It would be beneficial to have a network of experts and professionals who can assist in representing clients and provide insight on various money laundering related issues.
