Business accounts: Lawyers

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

How does a law firm open a business bank account?
The bank looks at your licence or bar registration, the partners, your practice areas and where clients are based. Lawyers are treated as a higher risk profession for money laundering, so the review goes deeper than a standard corporate file. Have your practice description, template engagement letters and a clear account of where client money comes from.
Can I open a client or escrow account?
Client and escrow accounts are available where local regulation and bar rules provide for them. The bank will insist on strict separation of firm and client money and will ask about significant incoming payments. Using such an account as a pass-through for other people's funds is the fastest way to get it closed.
Why do banks treat lawyers as high risk?
Legal accounts have historically been used to move other people's money, so regulators class lawyers as gatekeepers under AML rules. That means more frequent questions, limits on third party credits and attention to payments from poorly rated jurisdictions. It is not a blocker, but it needs preparation.
How do I answer bank questions without breaching privilege?
Privilege does not switch off bank compliance: the bank may ask about the origin of funds and may refuse if it gets no answer. In practice you disclose the nature of the transaction and the source of the money, not your legal advice. If nothing can be disclosed on a given matter, route that payment somewhere other than this account.
