Money laundering is an ever present (and ever evolving) threat. As such, AML compliance must remain a priority area for all solicitors. The current law and regulations that govern this are onerous, and practitioners therefore need to tread carefully in order to adhere to the rules.

Good AML also forms part of the modern solicitor's client care toolkit; it is not merely compliance but also an opportunity to make a good first impression with new clients.

Topics covered include:

  • The definition of money laundering
  • How money laundering is regulated in the UK
  • The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002
  • The Money Laundering Regulations 2017
  • How to comply with the law
  • Warning signs to look for
  • Client care considerations and the importance of soft skills
  • Iain Sim is a qualified solicitor, based in Glasgow.
