OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on AML, Sanctions and Financial Crime Compliance

  1. Why These Rules Now Touch Ordinary Commercial Activity

    Global businesses increasingly operate in environments where sanctions regimes, beneficial ownership rules, source-of-funds requirements and financial crime regulations directly affect transactions, investments and commercial relationships. We advise clients on compliance frameworks designed to identify and manage these risks before they result in regulatory enforcement or criminal exposure.

  2. What Our Work Includes

    Our work includes beneficial ownership analysis, source-of-funds and source-of-wealth issues, sanctions screening, restricted counterparties, ownership and control analysis, suspicious transactions, regulatory reporting obligations and internal reviews of potentially problematic activity.

  3. Risk Assessments for Investors and Financial Institutions

    For investors and financial institutions, we assist with legal risk assessments relating to portfolio companies, counterparties, investments and transactions involving jurisdictions or industries with heightened compliance considerations.

  4. Responding to Sanctions-Related Issues

    We also advise businesses responding to sanctions-related issues, including blocked payments, frozen assets, restricted counterparties and regulatory inquiries.

  5. Coordinating Overlapping Compliance Obligations Across Borders

    Cross-border transactions frequently involve overlapping and sometimes conflicting compliance obligations. We coordinate advice across jurisdictions and consider how sanctions, AML and financial crime regimes affect transaction structure, payment flows, ownership and operational decisions.

  6. Responding When Potential Violations Are Identified

    Where potential violations are identified, we advise on investigation strategy, remediation, voluntary disclosures where appropriate and engagement with regulators.
