Title: Corporate law and Anti-Money Laundering
Subtitle: The role of the Notary
Editor/Author: Professor Birgit Snijder-Kuipers
Content: In the summer of 2024, just before the Paris Olympics, I had the privilege of teaching a Corporate Law and Anti-Money-Laundering course at the 12th edition of the World Notariat University. This academic training programme, founded by French notary Jean-Paul Decorps, forms part of activities organised by the UINL and aims to increase the understanding of the concepts of comparative law and international law through exchanges of good notarial practices between young notaries. One of the objectives of the World Notariat University is to raise awareness about the globalisation of legal relations, and the role that the notary must play towards citizens and public authorities. This is particularly the case in the area of anti-money-laundering since challenges in this fi eld affect governments, fi nancial institutions, citizens and legal professionals around the world – and especially us notaries; for example, when fulfi lling our gatekeeping function.
