Anti-Money Laundering, Economic Sanctions & Anti-Corruption

Clear legal guidance for managing financial crime risk

At Ashurst Perkins Coie, we help clients manage financial-crime risk across anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, and anti-corruption laws.

Our lawyers advise across industries on compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act, the AML Act of 2020, the Corporate Transparency Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K. Bribery Act, and related laws and regulations.

Our team designs risk-based compliance programs, conducts internal investigations and third-party due diligence, advises on cross-border transactions, responds to regulatory examinations and government inquiries, addresses enforcement actions, and supports clients in resolving complex compliance issues. We also help companies that may not be directly subject to the Bank Secrecy Act assess and mitigate illicit-finance risks, protect their reputations and customers, and preserve access to banking services.

With former U.S. Department of Justice, SEC, regulatory, and government lawyers, we provide practical, solution-oriented counsel on fast-moving legal, regulatory, and policy developments.
