Ensuring barristers and chambers comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) legislation.

Barristers or chambers failing to appropriately manage and discharge AML responsibilities can result in an unlimited fine or a maximum prison sentence of 14 years. 

Historically barristers have depended on instructing solicitors to complete adequate AML and due diligence checks, however, as identified by the Solicitor’s Regulation Authority in 2025, one third of law firms routinely fail to comply with the minimum requirements set down in the legislation. Consequently, reliance on instructing solicitors may lead barristers to inadvertently fall foul of the legislation.

By completing this training, barristers and chambers professionals will learn what money laundering is in the context of barristers and chambers, the regulatory responsibilities that apply to chambers, and how to avoid becoming the subject of legal or regulatory action.
