PLMJ has a multidisciplinary team that specialises in compliance matters.
This team is made up of a group of lawyers dedicated to the area of compliance, in particular, diagnostics, analysis, and drafting and implementation of risk prevention policies. They also provide training to the members of a client's staff who are in positions relevant to this area.
This specialised team focuses on helping companies adapt to the new rules on combating money laundering and terrorism financing.
PLMJ's mission is to help its clients adapt their risk prevention and control policies, and to implement monitoring measures and procedures to identify clients and their beneficial owners, all with the aim of developing a new culture of compliance.
Companies that do not comply with the new rules may, among other sanctions, be subject to heavy fines, to the closure of the establishment, and to a ban on performing management and leadership duties (the latter, only in the case of breach of the duty to register the beneficial owners).
As a result of the constant changes to legislation in the field of compliance, it has now become crucial for companies to ensure they have permanent access to the best, most skilled and experienced professionals, according to the size and complexity of each matter.
