AML/CFT

Our professional team at FINREG PARTNERS has consistently and regularly provided advice and assistance on a wide range of anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing and sanctions compliance issues.

Comprehensive and expert legal support is particularly important today, when AML/CFT compliance is under increased regulatory scrutiny and the regulatory landscape has become increasingly extensive and detailed.

As part of our AML/CFT services, we focus on the following aspects:

  • preparation of legal opinions on selected AML/CFT regulatory issues, in particular the application of AML/CFT legislation to specific business models, including financial or other services provided from abroad;
  • advise and assistance in the development and implementation of new, or review and revision of existing internal AML/CFT policies and procedures, including risk assessment, to comply with the requirements of Czech legislation, guidelines and expectations of supervisory authorities, as well as international standards, which is crucial especially for clients with cross-border operations;
  • drafting or revision of questionnaires and other documentation to obtain all required information on clients for proper assessment of related risks;
  • conducting audits of internal AML/CFT systems;
  • ongoing monitoring of legislation, guidelines and opinions of supervisory authorities and assistance with implementation of their modifications into clients’ internal regulations and procedures, 
  • support in compliance with information obligations towards supervisory authorities;
  • assistance during inspections of supervisory authorities and representation of clients before relevant authorities or courts;
  • organisation of seminars and training sessions on current legal issues and the latest trends in AML/CFT, including practical examples, tailored to the requirements and needs of each client.

We support Czech and foreign clients ranging from major regulated financial institutions, such as banks, payment and investment service providers, to smaller fintech companies operating in various innovative industries, including the cryptoassets sector.

In providing legal services, we therefore follow the principle that the solutions we provide must best satisfy the requirements of legal and regulatory regulations, while always tailoring them to the area and scope of our clients’ activities, their needs and specifics so that clients do not incur unnecessary difficulties and costs that could adversely impact their business.
