AML check

AML (Anti-Money Laundering) is a set of legal and administrative measures aimed at preventing the use of financial systems or specific financial institutions for the laundering of proceeds derived from illegal activities, as well as for the financing of terrorism.

AML screening (AML check) is a compliance procedure used to assess money laundering and terrorist financing risks by screening clients, counterparties, and transactions against regulatory and risk-based criteria.

Main purpose of AML screening

The main objectives of AML screening are:

identification of the subject of a financial transaction;
identification of the beneficial owner of assets;
verification of the origin of funds;
assessment of transactional activity risks;
prevention of illegal use of financial services;
counteraction to asset manipulation.

AML screening and cryptocurrency

AML screening is applied, in particular, to cryptocurrency transactions based on European regulations and FATF recommendations. At the EU/EEA level, the concept of virtual currency has been defined and mandatory requirements have been established for the verification of crypto-asset owners, tracing the origin of crypto-assets, systematic monitoring of crypto transactions, and other procedures aimed at controlling the circulation of cryptocurrency in the market.

It was pleasant and useful to talk with Diana Ternova. Very professional consultation, lots of interesting details.

Thank you to the company “Prikhodko and Partners”, personally to Danylo, who led my case to a positive result!

Very satisfied with the cooperation with the company, namely with Marina Osadchuk: attentive and responsible. I contacted her twice regarding the request, certification and apostillation of documents – everything was professional, as fast as possible in the current conditions, always in touch to resolve additional issues. The best ratio of quality and price! Top recommendations!!

I sought advice on a criminal case. The lawyers very professionally explained all possible options for the development of the situation and helped me to correctly build a defense position. I liked the attentive attention to detail and clear communication throughout the process. I recommend the company as reliable specialists

We sincerely thank Dmytro for his professional support in registering a trademark for our construction company. The process was organized clearly and concisely: from the initial consultation and name verification to submitting the application and monitoring all stages of registration.

I contacted them regarding military law, and they highly recommended this company and this particular specialist, lawyer Diana Ternova. She explained everything clearly and efficiently, answered all my questions, and stayed in touch after the consultation!

With “Prikhodko & Partners” and Danylo Goncharenko personally – the essentially impossible became possible 🙂 – I managed to get a deferment for my father’s disability in the Uman CCC – by mail, after the summons, and even without my parents’ divorce (both of retirement age)! I am super grateful to Danylo for his support, and for enduring my many naughty questions 🙂 I intend to continue this fruitful cooperation!

I received a consultation from lawyer Anna Salienko, I was very satisfied, Anna advised me so well and reliably, she is very knowledgeable and pleasant to communicate with, thank you 🙏 for the consultation 🤩

I would like to express my great gratitude to the lawyers of “Prykhodko and Partners”. Ilya Kolesnikov – You made the long and difficult path of the trial as comfortable as possible. It was very important to feel protected, have access to information, and receive answers to many questions. The process lasted 1 year and 4 months. All this time you were in touch, always quick, polite, and meaningful answers. And, of course, a wonderful result in our favor. Before you, there were many hesitations, many attempts to act independently, despair, nervous breakdowns, fraudulent lawyers…. My sincere advice to those who read my review – do not hesitate, contact a reliable lawyer. And, of course, I recommend Ilya Kolesnikov. Also, great gratitude to Ilya’s partners in our case – Anastasia Shakhovets, arbitration manager Artem Baginsky, and the lawyer who accompanied us at the meetings – Anatoly Vasilyuk. All cool and polite professionals. I wanted to add that of the large law firms, only in “Prykhodko and Partners” did I receive a meaningful preliminary consultation on the first phone call. Other large companies I contacted did not even hand the phone to the lawyer. The conversation (and usually not very polite) ended at the office manager stage. And for the choice of company/lawyer at that moment, this played a decisive role. Thank you, Ilya, for finding the time and resources to politely and professionally respond personally to even non-clients ❤️. For 1 year and 4 months, you allowed me to feel not alone, to feel protected. This was the most important thing and I will always remember it with gratitude 💙💛

I would like to sincerely thank the family practice lawyer Sukhomlyn Halina for her professional assistance in the divorce.
My husband is in the temporarily occupied territory, and I am in Germany under temporary protection. It seemed that divorce in such a situation was almost impossible.

Thanks to Halina, the entire procedure took place completely remotely, without my coming to Ukraine. I received the decision of the Ukrainian court, as well as an apostille and an official translation, which allowed me to use the documents abroad without any problems.

Everything was clear, understandable and to the point: explanations of each stage, constant communication and the feeling that the case is really being dealt with.

I recommend Halina Sukhomlyn as a reliable lawyer in complex family cases, especially when one of the parties is under occupation or abroad.
