The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has reinstated its case against Dentons, a prominent law firm, regarding allegations of breaching anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. A London court determined that the SRA's previous acquittal of Dentons was based on a mistaken approach, necessitating a reconsideration by a disciplinary tribunal. Meanwhile, US law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett has agreed to pay a £362,000 fine after admitting to failings in its AML controls at its London office. The firm is also facing a £300,000 fine for historical AML breaches. The recent developments underscore ongoing concerns regarding compliance with AML regulations within the legal sector.
