Who is the training for?

For experienced lawyers, money laundering officers and those responsible for difficult compliance issues in law firms.

What prior knowledge do you need?

Enhanced GwG skills and experience with full mandate files; practical level or comparable level of knowledge.

Your concrete added value

You learn not to replace a difficult decision with keywords. Your opinion makes clear which assumptions are decisive, which counter-arguments exist and which additional clarification would allow a more resilient classification.

Assess ambiguous facts and competing interpretations of the law

That's what you're working on in this training.

Insulate the decisive demarcation
You break a mixed advisory and transaction mandate into concrete activities and information strands. In doing so, you determine the decisive facts, examine the appropriate facts and avoid treating different mandate phases equally.
Recognizing sources and counterpositions
You work with original standards, relevant board notes and available court decisions. For each of the statements made, you will examine the facts, legal status and scope; a lack of relevant case law and unsustainable transfers will be explicitly identified.
Establishing a justifiable position
You compare two possible assessments and check their consequences for the specific law firm process. The final assessment combines source evidence, factual assumptions and remaining uncertainty with a well-founded recommendation for further technical work.

Your learning goals

Mixed mandate parts and information streams differentiated.
Case law to be examined on the basis of facts and legal status for transferability.
Explicitly weigh arguments against your own assessment.
Precisely specify the need for clarification and the limits of a provisional recommendation.

From knowledge to a well-founded case solution.

Fictional practice case · Lawyers

Advice, enforcement and conflicting knowledge

A long-standing advisory mandate goes into the supervision of a capital transfer. Different editors receive contradictory information from different sources. Check activity and source of information, develop counterpositions to the notification question and examine appropriate case law, if available.

In focus: Demarcation of facts and reasoned assessment of legal border cases.

Your Exercise

You write an opinion on a borderline case and rework it after a targeted counterposition and additional factual information.

Your work result and proof of participation

A source-related case assessment with counterposition, audited mandate and comprehensible limited recommendation for action. After completing the training, you receive a participation certificate and a participation Badge for your sector and level.

How this relates to your daily work

You train the preparation of difficult technical advice and internal decisions. The method supports a transparent argument against colleagues without covering up uncertainties or necessary further examination.

Planned: 5 hours of training. With space for application.

The planned pure training time is 300 minutes. It includes knowledge transfer, application at the practice case and joint evaluation. Breaks are added. The data are planning values; we coordinate the concrete process before the training.

Knowledge & Classification: 60 minutes
Exercise & Application: 210 minutes
Evaluation & Transfer: 30 minutes
