Anti-Money Laundering regulations – background and implications for legal professionals
Holst, Advokater, like all Danish law firms and many other types of business, is subject to the rules of the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act (the “AML Act”).
Officially the “Act on Measures to Prevent Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism” (Consolidated Act No. 316 of 11 March 2022), its object is to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing.
The AML Act imposes on law firms and legal professionals, among other things, a duty to collect and retain ID files on their clients. Compliance is, of course, a priority for Holst, Advokater. Clients will therefore be required, as a prerequisite for our acceptance and handling of cases, to submit ID, typically in the form of passport or driver’s license, and to state their address.
