The growth in global compliance requirements has significantly increased the legal and reputational risks to any company with global operations. Companies are nowadays facing extensive requirements in the fields of anti-corruption and anti-bribery, anti-money laundering (AML) and the combating of terrorism financing (CFT), cyber-security and data protection, sanctions and export control, and are increasingly being subjected to cross-border criminal and regulatory investigations, significant monetary fines, restrictions on business operations and criminal penalties. Companies, as well as senior managers and directors, are also exposed to civil action for failing to comply with such requirements.
We have gained extensive and unique knowledge expertise, and invaluable experience representing and advising both, domestic and international entities, concerning AML and CFT, including related regulatory and compliance aspects.
We specialize in providing expert advice to companies and financial institutions concerning their local and international compliance requirements, offering practical and targeted assistance to our clients, including banks, credit card companies, stock exchange members, fintech companies, financial service providers, credit companies, payment companies, trust companies, and other companies that require advice and representation in the field of AML and CFT.
