Anti-Money Laundering Statement

As a Solicitor-Advocate of the Senior Civil Courts of England & Wales, Gavin Renwick is committed to acting ethically and has a zero-tolerance stance in relation to all forms of Money Laundering and financial crime.

​

Gavin Renwick is subject to the AML Regulations and as such, he undertakes a variety of checks to 'verify' his clients. 

​

Whilst we endeavor to keep these checks to a minimum there are occasions where we require personal documents such as passports, residence cards, driving licenses and/or utility bills. In such circumstances we will discuss those requirements with you as soon as possible. 

​

Our confidentiality obligations as a Solicitor-Advocate are subject to statutory exception. Recent legislation on money laundering and terrorist financing have placed legal practitioners under a duty in certain circumstances to disclose information to the National Crime Agency. 

 

Consequently, where a solicitor knows or suspects that a transaction on behalf of a client involves money laundering or terrorist financing, that solicitor may be required to make a money laundering disclosure to the relevant authority. 

 

If, while Gavin Renwick is acting for you, it becomes necessary to make a money laundering disclosure, we may not be able to inform you that a disclosure has been made or of the reasons for it as the law prohibits 'tipping-off'. 

 

However, insofar as the law permits, we shall advise you of any potential money laundering problems and explain what actions may need to be taken and when.
