Money Laundering Compliance

Many companies are now subject to anti-money laundering laws and are obliged to take effective measures to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing, especially all financial services companies. The rules for preventing money laundering are also developing very dynamically, which is a major challenge in practice.

We have many years of expertise in the area of money laundering compliance. We help our clients to keep a clear head in this complex matter, to correctly implement the applicable and future rules, and also to navigate through difficult situations, such as in supervisory and administrative penalty proceedings.

Our focus

  • Consultancy and representation in supervisory proceedings (on-site inspections, supervisory and administrative penalty proceedings)

  • Development of legally compliant onboarding and KYC processes, in particular remote onboarding

  • Risk analysis preparation

  • Establishment of anti-money laundering manuals

  • Preparation of training documents and conducting employee trainings

  • Designing products with a view to supporting the implementation of anti-money laundering obligations

  • Legal opinions on money laundering issues
