The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has ramped up sanctions investigations, reporting 22 cases in the past year — an increase from the previous period. John Binns of BCL Solicitors questioned the SRA’s involvement in sanctions enforcement, given that OFSI is the specialist authority. However, many argue that it's crucial for the SRA to ensure law firms are compliant, given their role in preventing illicit financial flows. As sanctions enforcement grows, law firms must strengthen their compliance programs to avoid scrutiny. https://lnkd.in/e4WF-fwD
