Anti-Money Laundering<\/h1><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Banks, payment institutions, insurance companies, investment firms, etc. are covered by the Act on Measures against Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and associated regulations. This means that the companies are obliged to implement a number of measures to detect whether their customers are involved in money laundering or terrorist financing. Effective compliance with the regulations requires companies to have an understanding of their own risk, establish appropriate procedures and ensure that these are complied with in practice.
We have extensive expertise in anti-money laundering. Several of our lawyers have work experience from relevant public authorities. This includes experience from on-site inspections, as well as national and international regulatory developments in the field.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
