Routledge - Lawyers and the Proceeds of Crime Book

This ground-breaking book from Routledge provides an in-depth empirical analysis of how legal professionals interact with the laundering of criminal proceeds. As authorities at national and international levels prioritize the role of lawyers in facilitating money laundering, this text offers essential insights into the subject. Based on qualitative research, the work examines the nature of involvement in money laundering and the effectiveness of control through criminal justice and regulatory mechanisms. The content is built upon a combination of case analysis involving lawyers convicted of money laundering offences and direct interviews with criminal justice practitioners, as well as members of professional and regulatory bodies. This resource is a vital addition to The Law of Financial Crime series for those studying the intersection of legal practice and financial crime control.
