Anti-money laundering and buyer due diligence

We may assess prospective buyers, sellers, beneficial owners, representatives and transaction counterparties before sharing confidential information or progressing a transaction. Depending on the transaction, jurisdiction and risk profile, checks may include identity and corporate verification, beneficial ownership, source of funds and wealth, politically exposed person screening, sanctions screening, adverse media review, licensing considerations and evidence of authority to act. We may request additional information, pause engagement, restrict data-room access or decline to proceed where checks cannot be completed or risks are unacceptable. Information is handled on a need-to-know basis and retained according to applicable obligations. This summary does not replace the legal obligations of regulated parties.
