We are delighted to launch our Global Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Guide, which provides a handy snapshot of legislation, regulation and enforcement approaches in 60+ jurisdictions worldwide.

AML legislation and regulation imposes some of the most intrusive and wide-ranging obligations for businesses. Requirements, and enforcement authorities’ approaches to them, are not the same in any two jurisdictions worldwide. In many cases, requirements extend across geographical borders. Doing business internationally requires an awareness of these obligations to enable businesses and individuals within them to identify and mitigate risks.

This country-by-country guide is intended as a useful desktop tool to help busy in-house practitioners stay on top of this task. It sets out the essential elements of AML legislation and regulation across key jurisdictions where we and our partner firms have extensive experience of advising businesses and individuals with managing AML risk.

Of course, AML legislation and regulation is not set in stone and the approaches taken by authorities are constantly evolving. Our team of AML compliance specialists are continuously monitoring developments and regularly publish updates and analysis on key changes to legal frameworks and how these are being applied in practice. These are published on LinkedIn and also distributed by email. If you would like to receive these updates, please register here selecting “Litigation” and “Fraud and Financial Crime”.

We hope the guide is useful for you and your teams.
