THE PROFILE OF OUR BUSINESS

Landmark Law Partners is a multi-jurisdictional law firm operating through a number of separately constituted and regulated legal partnerships and companies which provide legal and other client services in accordance with the relevant laws of the jurisdictions in which they operate. We also have a small number of operating and administrative subsidiary companies. We currently have representative offices in the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong, New York, Mauritius and the United Kingdom. We hope to extend this to more jurisdictions in the coming years.
None of the jurisdictions in which we operate has a poor record on modern slavery and human trafficking. We are committed to monitoring developments in the jurisdictions in which we operate through sources such as the Global Slavery Index.
Our lawyers are all members of professional organisations and as such are required to comply with professional and ethical codes of conduct.
As a supplier of legal services, we operate in a professional services environment with a relatively low risk of modern slavery occurring. We do not rely on extensive or complex supply chains for the purposes of our business.

POLICIES

Notwithstanding the low risk of modern slavery in our business sector, we are committed to ensuring that we do not permit practices such as modern slavery or human trafficking within our business or in our supply chain.
We have robust recruitment processes which seek to that ensure appropriate checks on new recruits are carried out before the relevant staff member commences employment.
In joining our global partnership, our member partners are vigorously vetted and adhere to our policies which are intended to reflect and uphold our commitment to a high standard of ethics and integrity in our business. Our policies are regularly reviewed to ensure that they are and remain comprehensive.
We provide all of our members with relevant training and updates on our policies and procedures to prevent money laundering, to counter the financing of terrorism and to ensure that our services are not exploited by those wishing to conduct other criminal enterprises.

CLIENTS & SUPPLIERS

Before taking on a new client, we conduct due diligence checks-see our AML & KYC Policy. We are constantly reviewing our due diligence processes to ensure that any issues relating to money laundering or other criminal enterprises (including modern slavery or human trafficking) are identified.
In relation to our supply chain, we deal only with reputable suppliers of goods and services. We continue to review our approach to the engagement (and renewal) of suppliers in order to identify any supply chain risks and take any actions necessary with suppliers to ensure that such risks are mitigated.

GOVERNANCE

As a global partnership and multi-jurisdictional provider of legal services, corporate services, and commercial services, we are concerned with ensuring that modern slavery issues are considered at both a local and global level within our business and supply chain with robust and consistent measures put in place to address any identified risks.
