For law firms advising regulated clients
Your firm files the application and advises on the law. Black Sea builds the AML/CFT and sanctions programme the supervisor will examine.
Where the line sits
| Your firm | Black Sea |
|---|---|
| The licence application | The business risk assessment |
| Legal opinions, including on the perimeter | Policies and procedures mapped to the rulebook |
| Representation before the regulator and the courts | Screening and monitoring rules, and registration with the FIU |
| Corporate and contractual work | Training, MLRO cover and the independent AML audit |
We do no legal work, so a client you introduce stays your client for everything legal.
How a referral works
- We sign an NDA and a cooperation agreement with your firm.
- You introduce the client, or describe the case without names.
- We send a costed plan to the client, or to you if you prefer, within 48 hours of your message.
- Each firm agrees its own scope and fee with the client, and the legal work stays with you.
- Where a client of ours needs counsel in your market, we can introduce your firm.
Confidentiality
Nothing about your client moves before the NDA. We name a partner firm only with its consent.
