This Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) Policy outlines the measures adopted by INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER LIMITED (UK Company Number 16856478) to prevent the misuse of our services for money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, or other illicit activities.

This policy is designed in accordance with:

• FATF International Standards on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism
  (FATF Recommendations, 2023).

2. Scope

This policy applies to:

• UKTrustedLaw / u.adv.legal

Although we provide non-regulated legal consultancy only, we voluntarily maintain AML/CTF controls as part of responsible business conduct.

3. Our Services (Risk Classification)

We do not:

4. Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

Before providing consultancy services, we may perform appropriate due diligence steps, including:

• Assessing the risk level of the request

CDD procedures follow the principles in:

• FATF Recommendation 10 (Customer Due Diligence)

Enhanced checks may be applied if information appears suspicious or inconsistent.

If any suspicious activity is identified, we may:

• Decline or terminate the service

We follow the principles of:
