Regulatory, financial crime & strategic risk
Transactions can carry hidden regulatory and financial-crime exposure — from sanctions, export controls and national-security reviews to bribery, money laundering and weak internal controls.

Frequently asked
Please note: these answers are AI-generated general information and have not been reviewed or verified by a lawyer. They are not legal advice, may be incomplete or inaccurate, and no reliance may be placed on them. For advice on your specific situation, please contact us.
What is an NSIA review, and could it affect my deal?
The National Security and Investment Act 2021 lets the government review — and in some cases block or unwind — transactions in sensitive sectors. We assess early whether a deal is caught and what that means for timing.
Do anti-money laundering and anti-bribery rules apply to us?
Many businesses are affected, especially in cross-border or higher-risk sectors. We help you assess exposure and put proportionate policies and controls in place.
Can you check sanctions and export-control exposure on a counterparty?
Yes. We assess sanctions, export-control and dual-use risk on counterparties and transactions before you commit.
