Lindsays is committed to meeting its obligations under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, as amended, together with the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, the Criminal Finances Act 2017, the Terrorism Act 2000, and all other applicable legislation designed to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
We carry out appropriate client identification and verification checks for both new and existing clients and, where required, seek to establish the source of wealth and source of funds. We maintain robust policies, procedures, and controls to ensure compliance, supported by both electronic and manual processes.
Our staff receive regular training to help them understand and comply with these legal and regulatory requirements. In line with our risk‑based approach, we may decline to act on instructions that fall outside our risk appetite.
Further information on anti‑money laundering requirements for solicitors is available on the Law Society of Scotland's website.
