What happens when an AML program looks fine on paper, but the controls fail in practice?

Practus partner, Robert Moreiro, explores that question in a new analysis of the UBS Financial Services AML settlements, following coordinated actions by four regulators on August 3.

The numbers are striking:

• $10.4+ billion across 60,000+ foreign-currency wires FINRA found were not reasonably monitored
• $125 million FinCEN penalty, its largest ever against a broker-dealer for BSA violations

But the biggest lesson isn't the size of the penalties. It's what they reveal about AML programs.

Sophisticated technology doesn't compensate for incomplete data, outdated risk ratings, disconnected compliance functions, or remediation that isn't independently validated.

And when a firm has already been warned about the same weaknesses, the stakes get even higher.

The question isn't whether your AML program exists. Can you prove it actually works?

Congratulations to Practus partners, Mark Belongia and William Firth, on helping a minority shareholder in a closely held oil-and-gas-related business achieve a six-figure recovery in a complex shareholder dispute.

Rather than pursuing costly, prolonged litigation, Mark and Bill identified key pressure points, pursued targeted books-and-records remedies, and guided the matter to mediation.

As William put it:

“You don’t litigate just because you can. Our North Star was, ‘What are our client’s objectives? How do we strategize to get to that objective?’”

Mark added:

“It’s what makes us different. A lot of other lawyers would have just gone through the motions of litigation. They wouldn’t even have thought or wanted to go the route we did. But we knew what our client wanted. It took ingenuity, but we got him there.”

The result was a meaningful win for the client, without unnecessary legal spend.

Join Practus partners, Karen Aspinall and Ray Holst, for the upcoming MFDF webinar “Section 351 & ETF Formation: What Directors Need to Know.”

📅 September 9 from 2-3 p.m. ET

They will discuss how Section 351 exchanges are structured and the key tax and governance considerations fund leaders should understand when evaluating these transactions.

“As Section 351 exchanges become more prevalent, independent directors need to understand how these transactions operate and the issues they may present for the funds and shareholders they oversee,” says Karen.

Designed for independent directors, CCOs, and other fund professionals, this webinar will provide practical insight into an increasingly important ETF formation structure.

Registration is $100 non-members and free for members. Visit the link in the comments to learn more and register.

At Practus, we’ve built a modern legal environment designed to strip away administrative friction so attorneys can focus on what actually drives business forward: building relationships and delivering exceptional legal strategy.

By investing into our technology systems, we give our attorneys and clients:

1. Smarter Business Development: Automatically track client and referral connections, spending less time on admin and more time delivering strategic legal advise.

2. Rapid Onboarding: Intake tools handle conflict checks, engagement letters, and workspace setup fast, taking you from signed agreement to active legal work without delay.

3. Efficient Workflows: Modern research and drafting tools help analyze complex issues and review contracts in a fraction of the time, keeping advice sharp and projects on schedule.

The result? Less data entry and a model built around client value rather than administrative overhead.

Whether you’re an attorney looking to build a bigger practice without the traditional roadblocks, or a business seeking agile, modern legal counsel...this is how a law firm should operate.

For broker-dealers, having a compliance system isn’t enough. You have to use it.

In his latest article, Practus partner, Robert Moreiro, breaks down FINRA’s recent action against Reid & Rudiger and what it means for broker-dealers, compliance teams, and supervisors.

FINRA found that the firm had written supervisory procedures and surveillance reports that could identify excessive trading, but those tools weren’t used effectively.

A policy isn’t a control if no one follows it and a surveillance report doesn’t reduce risk if no one reviews it.

And when FINRA has already flagged a problem, updating the policy isn’t enough. Firms need to show that the fix actually works.

If FINRA looked at your supervisory system tomorrow, could you prove it works in practice?

What if you could have more control over your practice without building everything yourself?

For Practus partner Steven Young, that’s what drew him to Practus:

“I joined Practus as it gave me the desired control over my own practice, with a terrific infrastructure to support it and a group of enormously talented partners throughout the country in so many practice areas. What could be better?”

At Practus, experienced attorneys get the autonomy to build their practices on their terms, backed by the infrastructure, technology, and collaborative network of a sophisticated law firm.
