AML data collection helps manage risk
01 October 2025
More than 97 per cent of firms completed our 2025 AML and sanctions data collection. Thank you to everyone who took part.
This exercise is a key part of how we proactively manage risk across the legal sector. By analysing trends across the files and firms we review, we are able to deliver supervision that is evidence-led, helping to further protect the sector from criminal exploitation.
The data helps us understand how firms are identifying and managing money laundering risks, as well as how they have assessed their exposure to sanctions and the controls they have put in place. These insights allow us to focus our sanctions checks where they are most needed, ensuring a proportionate and targeted approach.
Firms in scope who did not submit by the deadline have been contacted directly and may face regulatory action.
