    AML screening for solicitors and conveyancers.

    A matter file that shows your checks. Independent legal professionals are in scope when they take part in financial or property transactions: buying and selling property or businesses, managing client money, or creating and managing trusts and companies. Sanctions breaches can also be a regulatory matter in their own right.

    Supervisor

    The SRA in England and Wales, the Law Society of Scotland, the Law Society of Northern Ireland, or the CLC for licensed conveyancers.

    Who you’ll screen

    • Clients, individual and corporate
    • Beneficial owners and directors of corporate clients
    • Other parties where your risk assessment calls for it
    • Clients already on your books, on an ongoing basis

    The risks

    What supervisors look for in your sector.

    Property transactions

    Conveyancing remains one of the most commonly cited risk areas for money laundering through the legal sector.

    Trust and company work

    Setting up structures for clients can create the opacity that sanctioned people look for. Screening the people behind them matters.

    File reviews

    Supervisors review matter files. A screenshot of a government website isn’t a record; a dated result with the list version is.
