DISCIPLINARY DECISION FOR PUBLICATION
Alister Pilling is a recognised sole practice whose principal office is at 45 Cross Street, Camborne, TR14 8ET.
On 26 June 2017, the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (MLRs 2017) came into force. Law firms who carry out certain work must comply with the MLRs 2017. Those firms must carry out a risk assessment to identify and assess the business’s risks of money laundering and terrorist financing (the firm-wide risk assessment).
The SRA asked all those firms to complete a declaration to confirm that they have a compliant anti-money laundering firm-wide risk assessment by 31 January 2020. Alister Pilling failed to provide the declaration until 21 April 2021, in breach of rules 2.1(a) and 3.3(a) of the SRA Code of Conduct for Firms.
Alister Pilling was directed to pay a penalty of £800 and ordered to pay costs of £600.
