Legal areas » Protection against money laundering
Anti-money laundering is a new, dynamically evolving area of law that currently affects almost all areas of business, not just banking and financial institutions.
It also applies, for example, to estate agents, auditors, accountants, tax advisors, and all businesspeople carrying out cash operations of at least EUR 10,000, regardless of the type of business. Financial institutions and businesspeople are obligated to develop (in writing) and adhere to their own programme to protect against money laundering and terrorist financing. We are one of the few law firms that offer our clients complete advice in this area. In particular, we offer a comprehensive analysis of the state of protection against money laundering and terrorist financing, can make a proposal for measures to eliminate potential risks, and give advice on developing a programme.
This protects clients from being unintentionally misused for money laundering, as well as from possible criminal liability and financial sanctions by the financial police. Our clients appreciate that robust protection in this area strengthens their market reputation and protects against fraud, thus reducing their costs for litigation and other proceedings.
