Criminal & Regulatory
Anti-Money Laundering & Compliance
Building and testing compliance programs that meet anti-money-laundering expectations.
Overview
What this involves
Financial institutions, and a growing range of other businesses, are expected to know their customers, spot suspicious activity and report it. Regulators increasingly expect compliance programs that work in practice, not just on paper.
We advise banks, fintechs, money services businesses, real estate participants and other companies on anti-money-laundering obligations under the Bank Secrecy Act and related rules, from program design and customer due diligence to independent reviews and regulatory inquiries.
