Anti Financial Crime

The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 require law firms regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority to verify the identity of all their clients and, where the client is an entity, to identify, and in some cases to verify, the natural person/s who is/are its ultimate beneficial owner/s. This means we may ask a client (or persons or organisations who instruct us on a client’s behalf) for passport and other identification documents and about our client’s wealth and source of funds.

We may also obtain relevant information from external organisations, including credit reference agencies, who may keep a record of the search. Where our client is an entity (or where a person or organisation instructs us on behalf of an entity which is our client) we may ask for a structure chart and for confirmation of who the natural person/s is/are who ultimately beneficiary of our client. We will seek this information at the outset of our business relationships, although we may need to update it during the course of our ongoing business relationships.

We may either decline or not be permitted to proceed to act or to handle funds until our client due diligence checks are complete. Where we instruct other professionals, such as counsel or overseas law firms, on a client’s behalf, we may provide the other professional with copies of our client due diligence, unless specifically instructed not to.
