Anti-Money Launderting (AML) Compliance
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance has become one of the most critical legal and regulatory issues for financial institutions, fintech startups, virtual asset service providers, and multinational corporations.
With ever-evolving obligations under global standards such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations and local enforcement by U.S. agencies like FinCEN, OFAC, and the SEC, maintaining a compliant AML program is not just necessary—it is mission-critical. SJKP LLP provides comprehensive legal guidance, gap analysis, and strategic defense to protect clients from penalties, business disruption, and reputational risk.
