AKD Lawyers has not yet entered a description here.
AKD wants its business partners to be reliable and act with integrity. That is why the KYC processes have to be in sound working order. In addition, AML/ATF requirements impose an increasing demand on the organisation. The client onboarding process is thus a meticulous task.
To manage it, AKD created the Client Acceptance Desk (CAD). The CAD handles the intake of new clients.

The importance of this client due diligence work of the CAD is only matched by its role in monitoring existing clients and its close collaboration with our Compliance department.
