The information on this website is of a general nature only. It is not intended as legal advice on a specific situation and should not be regarded as such.

Visiting this website or contacting Feyaerts Law does not in itself create a lawyer-client relationship. Such a relationship only arises once an engagement has been expressly accepted.

Feyaerts Law endeavours to keep the information on this website careful and up to date, but cannot guarantee that all information is at all times complete, accurate or current. Legislation, case law and administrative practice may change, and the legal assessment of a situation always depends on its specific facts and circumstances.

For advice on a specific situation, please contact Feyaerts Law directly.

In certain situations defined by law, lawyers are subject to obligations aimed at preventing money laundering and terrorist financing.

Where this legislation applies, Feyaerts Law must, among other things, identify the client and verify the client’s identity. Depending on the circumstances, this may also apply to representatives, agents and ultimate beneficial owners. In this context, Feyaerts Law may request additional information and documents necessary to assess the identity of the persons concerned, the nature and purpose of the engagement, the origin of funds or other relevant circumstances.

The extent of these checks depends on the nature of the engagement and the risk associated with it under the applicable legislation. Additional information may also be requested during the professional relationship where this is necessary to comply with statutory due diligence obligations.

Where the legally required identification or verification cannot be completed, Feyaerts Law may be required not to accept an engagement, not to carry out certain transactions or to terminate an existing professional relationship, subject to the statutory exceptions applicable to certain core activities of lawyers.

Within the scope of anti-money laundering legislation, lawyers may also be subject to reporting obligations. Those obligations apply within the statutory framework and with due regard to the exceptions and safeguards relating to the exercise of lawyers’ core professional activities and professional secrecy.

Personal data collected in the context of these statutory obligations are processed for the purpose of complying with applicable anti-money laundering and identification requirements. Further information about the processing of personal data can be found in the Feyaerts Law privacy notice.
