Money Laundering Law

This note sets out the main features of the UK’s money laundering legislation which is comprised largely of legislation derived from the EU Third and Fourth Money Laundering Directives.

This note concentrates especially on the impact of the legislation on the financial services industry and upon professional services, such as accountants and solicitors, who are most exposed to the law.
