Compliance update
In the SRA’s Summer 24 compliance update, they have updated guidance on complying with UK sanctions.
Do you allow your firm to take money on account of costs and disbursements before you know a Sanctions check has been done? Asking for a friend..
(Just kidding. We have been advising firms about this and other best practices in their onboarding workflows, but we are interested in what your firm is doing. Feel free to let me know below).

Support Through Court
We are sure that you have heard of Support Through Court and the really great work that this charity provides.
They have been kind enough to provide us with a guest blog, attached, about what they do, and how much of a positive impact they are making.
We are delighted to be able to support them – thank you Mike Hague for the introduction to Ali Evans!
AML Fines!
Over the spring/summer, there have been a series of high fines reported for law firms over their lack of compliance with the AML Requirements.
https://lnkd.in/d5FXX8YJ in case you have missed the various cases, the attached article from Legal Futures starts with the most recent case of a Manchester law firm in breach, and links to Legal Futures’ previous articles for a fuller round up.
Well worth an Autumn read.
