There is much fuss about lawyers and money laundering and rightly so.

To put it into perspective: a senior financial crimes officer with London's Metropolitan Police said that, in every money laundering case that came before him, there were lawyers involved.

More than 25 years later, that's still more or less the case. The only reason it's not the case now is that so many other business areas, such as accountants, deliver legal or quasi-legal services and in money laundering schemes they do the things lawyers used to do.

It is true that many money laundering schemes do not require a legal structure.

The involvement of lawyers goes beyond creating and managing structures: it includes being an active participant in laundering schemes.

And schemes for bribery, corruption and terrorist financing.

In this way, lawyers are at risk from their clients and from other lawyers; and lawyers present risks for other lawyers and a wide range of financial institutions.

This course is about risk. It is not about law or compliance.

It is therefore non-jurisdictional.
