Gittins McDonald really benefitted from the Legal Eye AML Audit and Certification. When it came to their Lexcel accreditation the assessor was impressed:

“The Firm has recently engaged the services of an external specialist in addressing money laundering risk management and a thorough audit has been conducted that has involved reviewing files and interviewing staff members to present them with real-life scenarios. This practical approach encompassed all areas of potential risk, and the Firm is commended for adopting this open attitude towards continual improvement of practices resulting in risk minimisation. An additional important feature of the audit process was clarification of the reasons behind the Firm’s adopting certain procedures: for example, when clients ask for the reasons behind a request for production of certain documentation, staff members are able to explain fully, thus improving the lawyer/client relationship.”
