We have to identify our clients
As lawyers, we are subject to the professional rules of the Nederlandse Orde van Advocaten bij de Balie van Brussel or the Ordre francophone du Barreau de Bruxelles.
We have a legal obligation to identify a client in the prevention of money laundering before we can start working for him or her. How we do this is laid down in our professional rules (Dutch/French).
If this identification leads to a suspicion of money laundering, we may have an obligation to report this without informing our client.
Your contact in the firm can give you more information.
