Fraud & Anti-Corruption

Anti-Bribery, Anti-Corruption and Anti-Money Laundering (ABAC/AML)

In a rapidly evolving legal landscape where clients face heightened scrutiny and increased enforcement of domestic and international anti-bribery, anti-corruption and anti-money laundering legislation, there is a growing need for counsel with in-depth knowledge and expertise in this area.

Our lawyers proactively assist companies, trusts, boards of directors, officers and in-house counsel with designing and implementing robust ABAC/AML compliance programs to address and avoid potentially ruinous civil, criminal and quasi-criminal sanctions, and the significant reputational harm that can follow.  If ABAC/AML issues arise, our lawyers also assist with investigating and resolving those issues with a view to mitigating financial and reputational damage.

With knowledge of ABAC/AML laws and regulatory agencies across Canada and in many international jurisdictions, including offshore financial centres, our lawyers are well-positioned to respond to and co-ordinate multi-jurisdictional investigations that extend beyond Canada’s borders.
