AMLA – public consultation process

AMLA, the EU Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism, has recently set out its strategic priorities and is engaging in a public consultation process. As this affects all solicitors providing legal services, you are urged to consider AMLA’s draft Regulatory Technical Standards documents and have your say by 8 May.  

Get AML help

We know that AML compliance is often difficult to navigate. Our AML Unit is committed to keeping the profession fully updated on evolving regulatory and legal obligations, and to providing ongoing support and guidance. 

A dedicated AML helpline now provides support to solicitors by telephone and email. Although it cannot provide advice, solicitors can discuss how to navigate their AML obligations and identify potentially suspicious transactions. 

To contact the AML helpline, call 01 879 8788 or email aml@lawsociety.ie.
