Anti-Money Laundering, Countering Terrorism Financing and Anti-Corruption

 

A core practice area is our work in anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), anti-corruption and countering financial crime. Lexbridge supports governments combat the threat of money laundering linked to corruption and serious and organised crime, and to meet relevant international standards, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) standards.
 

Our multi-disciplinary team includes highly experienced lawyers with expertise in international and domestic legal frameworks and members with extensive experience in areas such as financial investigations, forensic accounting, AML/CFT-related prosecutions and litigation, criminal asset confiscation, and transnational justice mechanisms.

 

We have significant experience in assisting countries develop legislation, subordinate instruments and guidance materials to implement the FATF standards.  We also have significant experience working with Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APGML) to develop a groundbreaking model legal framework for the Pacific and associated legislative reform packages to implement global standards.

Our team also has significant experience working with governments on policy development, law reform and legislative drafting and have worked extensively with governments in Australia, the Pacific, and intergovernmental organisations.
