What an SRA AML review asks to see
Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a
firm — which is exactly why the evidence file matters. The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 set the same
standing expectations for every supervised law firm, whoever the supervisor:
Registered with an AML supervisor
MLR 2017, Part 6
A review asks to see: Your registration — the SRA (or HMRC, for the minority of legal-sector businesses it supervises) checks its own register; this page shows your entry.
Firm-wide risk assessment
MLR 2017, reg 18
A review asks to see: A written, dated risk assessment specific to your practice areas — not an undated template.
Policies, controls & procedures
MLR 2017, reg 19
A review asks to see: A written PCP document proportionate to your size, kept up to date and evidenced to fee-earners and staff.
Nominated officer (MLRO)
MLR 2017, reg 21
A review asks to see: The appointment on record, and staff knowing who receives internal reports.
Client due diligence + ongoing monitoring
MLR 2017, regs 27–28
A review asks to see: A per-client/per-matter file: identity verified, screening outcome, risk level, and reg 28(11) ongoing monitoring with a dated record every run — a documented "no change" is evidence.
Staff training
MLR 2017, reg 24
A review asks to see: A log of who was trained, when, and on what — awareness undocumented is awareness unproven.
Record-keeping
MLR 2017, reg 40
A review asks to see: CDD records retained five years and retrievable — scattered inboxes and case files fail this in practice.
Quick answers
Is Hunter Lawyers regulated by the SRA?
On the Solicitors Regulation Authority's register of regulated organisations, Hunter Lawyers appears as a regulated firm (SRA number 617971), authorisation status "YES". Every solicitors' firm offering reserved legal activities must be authorised by the SRA. This is drawn from the SRA's own public register; the register itself is the authoritative record, and regulatory decisions are the SRA's alone. If any detail is out of date, email hello@firmguard.uk and we'll correct it within one working day.
What does an AML review expect of Hunter Lawyers?
The same as for every supervised law firm: a written, dated firm-wide risk assessment; policies, controls and procedures; a nominated officer (MLRO); a per-client/per-matter due-diligence file with identity verified and ongoing monitoring recorded; a staff-training log; and records kept for five years and retrievable. Public registers can't show whether these exist inside a firm — which is why the evidence file matters. This describes the standing duties in the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, not an assessment of this firm.
