Client Identification and Verification

In support of anti-money laundering and terrorist funding initiatives, Canadian legal regulators impose mandatory rules on client identification and verification.

These rules apply not only to our direct clients, but also to individuals who instruct us on behalf of our clients, as well as any underlying clients who have retained our client in a matter where we are providing services. If we require additional information from you or your client, we will let you know and appreciate your understanding and prompt cooperation as we fulfill these mandatory obligations. We expect you to keep us informed of any material changes to the information you have provided to us during the verification process.
