The prevention of the facilitation of money laundering, counter terrorism and proliferation financing is a key priority of the UK Government and therefore of regulators, professional body supervisors and enforcement agencies in England and Wales.
Kingsley Napley LLP is home to a team of specialist anti money laundering lawyers who have deep expertise in, and advise across all aspects of, the AML spectrum, in the criminal, civil and regulatory fields, guiding those within scope of POCA and / or the MLRs on all aspects of compliance and enforcement.
Recent work for clients has included preparing PWRAs and PCPs, investigating suspected anti money laundering or breaches of the MLRs and assisting with reporting to NCAS, the SRA, and other enforcement agencies, and acting in a number of SRA investigations and prosecutions for alleged regulation breaches. In the autumn of 2024 we bolstered our expertise with our most recent recruit in the form of Colette Best, former Director of AML Policy at the SRA. Since that time, we have launched our new AML audit service for SRA supervised bodies.
