12. MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATIONS 2007

(e)   For companies and limited liability partnerships We will usually require a copy certificate of incorporation and copy audited statutory accounts together with personal identification as above in respect of some or all of the body’s officers. In the case of a company incorporated overseas, there should also be a certificate from lawyers qualified in the relevant jurisdiction to the effect that the company is properly incorporated, together with evidence of the company’s directors and of the authority and identity of the persons instructing us.
(f)    For other clients, e.g. trusts, estates, charities and unincorporated associations, We will advise you of the documents needed for proof of identity.
(g)    We will need to check whether you may be a “politically exposed person” as defined in the Regulations, or a family member or close associate of such a person.
(h)   For all clients other than individuals, We will also need to establish the identity of the beneficial owner(s) of the client. This is likely to mean that We have to ask for additional documentation such as the documents which evidence ownership and control of the client. We will discuss this with you.
(i)     We understand that the operation of these Regulations may be a cause for concern, but We ask for your understanding and cooperation in assisting us to comply with our legal obligations.

If this is not possible in any case please discuss the position with us as soon as possible.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

(a)    We believe that the limitations on our liability as set out in this agreement are reasonable having regard to the availability and cost of professional indemnity insurance and possible changes in its availability and costs. We are, however, happy to discuss this limit with you if you consider it insufficient for your purposes and will investigate options for providing further cover which may be at extra cost.
(b)   We will not be liable to the extent caused by the provision of false, misleading or incomplete information or documentation or due to the acts or omissions of any person other than us, except where, on the basis of the enquiries normally undertaken by solicitors within the scope of this agreement, it would have been reasonable for the solicitor to discover such defects.

(ii)    any sum due from us to you shall be reduced by the proportion for which another party would have been found liable if either:

Other than as expressly provided in this agreement, the provisions of the Act are excluded.
(i)     No liability will in any event apply in respect of any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of revenue.
(j)     Note however that these exclusions shall not apply to any claim in respect of the death of or injury to any person.
