Partner
The firm supports its clients in optimising their AML/CFT compliance. We intervene across the entire chain: risk assessment, structuring of frameworks, operational deployment and regulatory monitoring. Drawing on our legal, regulatory and operational expertise, we help clients meet regulators' requirements and anticipate legislative developments.
Our areas of practice cover:
- Risk mapping and internal procedures: analysis of activities, client bases and channels, development of a risk classification, and drafting of tailored vigilance policies and procedures.
- Operational deployment and control tools: implementation of KYC/KYB arrangements, suspicious transaction reporting, asset freezing, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring, internal control and periodic control plans.
- Training and staff awareness: design and delivery of training modules for executives, compliance functions and operational teams on AML/CFT obligations, asset freezing, sanctions and enhanced vigilance.
- Audit, monitoring and updating: regular review of the framework (internal or external audit), updating of procedures in light of the evolving European regulatory framework (AMLD6 directive, EU regulations...), and adaptation to new risks (crypto-assets, instant payments, etc.).
- Support during inspections, investigations and disputes: preparation for inspections by TRACFIN or the ACPR/AMF, assistance during investigations, defence of clients in the event of sanctions or disciplinary proceedings, and remediation strategy.
