50 PMLA Compliance for Indian Lawyers

50 PMLA Compliance for Indian Lawyers

COMPLETE PROFESSIONAL COMPLIANCE MANUAL · AML · CDD · FATF · PMLA · BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

Lawyers in India are reporting entities under PMLA — yet most legal training treats AML as a banking problem, not a professional obligation attaching directly to the firm.

14 parts, 30 case laws, and a complete toolkit: money laundering history and PMLA evolution, lawyers as reporting entities and the privilege doctrine, law firm risk assessments and client due diligence, high-risk practice areas across eight jurisdictions, FATF Recommendations and landmark international cases, and a practical toolkit of 100 documents covering VDAs, DeFi, and emerging FATF standards.

Why the cost makes sense: privilege doesn't exempt a law firm from its own reporting obligations — the firms that treat AML as someone else's job are the ones with no compliance programme when a regulator asks for one.

This guide is educational and risk-awareness material only. It does not guarantee that following it will prevent a fine, investigation, or conviction, and it is not legal advice or a substitute for consulting a licensed advocate about your specific situation.

Know your obligations before the regulator explains them to you. Get certified.
