Anti-money laundering
Our anti-money laundering lawyers assist companies in all sectors to identify and manage money laundering risks, prepare anti-money laundering compliance programs and assist in processes with public authorities. Our lawyers have extensive expertise in criminal law, compliance and financial regulatory issues.
Failure to comply with anti-money laundering regulations can have serious legal, financial and reputational consequences. Companies should therefore implement suitable measures in light of the current regulations and the enterprise's risk exposure. For companies with international operations, anti-money laundering rules in several jurisdictions must also be dealt with.
Our anti-money laundering lawyers have experience from the police/prosecuting authority and several have worked in-house with anti-money laundering in the country's largest financial institutions. We have also handled several large, international investigations within money laundering with extensive coordination in various jurisdictions.
