Dossary Law Firm (“the Firm”) is committed to complying with the highest ethical and professional standards and all laws, rules and regulations applicable to us. All lawyers and staff are expected to adhere to these laws, regulations and ethical standards, and management is responsible for ensuring such compliance.

Anti-money laundering policies and procedures

​

Saudi Anti-money laundering law 2017 requires us in most cases to ask for evidence of identity.

​

We are subject to Money Laundering Regulations and as such we undertake a variety of checks to ‘verify’ our clients. Whilst we endeavour to keep these to a minimum, there will be occasions where we are required to request personal documents such as ID, CR and Residence Cards. In such circumstances we will discuss those requirements with you as soon as possible.

​

Our confidentiality obligations are subject to a statutory exception: recent legislation on money laundering and terrorist financing has placed solicitors under a legal duty in certain circumstances to disclose information to the Governmental entities. Where a solicitor knows or suspects that a transaction on behalf of a client involves money laundering or terrorist financing, the solicitor may be required to make a money laundering disclosure. If, while we are 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 because the law prohibits 'tipping-off'. Where the law permits us, we will tell you about any potential money laundering problem and explain what action may need to be taken.

 

The Firm has internal procedures to ensure that any suspicions of money laundering are reported to the relevant authorities where there is an obligation to do so. For more information, read our Anti-money laundering policy here.
