In the summer of 2024, Prof. Birgit Snijder Kuipers taught a Corporate Law and Anti-Money-Laundering course at the 12th edition of the World Notariat University. This academic training programme, founded by French notary Jean-Paul Decorps, forms part of activities organised by the UINL and aims to increase the understanding of the concepts of comparative law and international law through exchanges of good notarial practices between young notaries. One of the objectives of the World Notariat University is to raise awareness about the globalisation of legal relations, and the role that the notary must play towards citizens and public authorities. This is particularly the case in the area of anti-money-laundering since challenges in this field affect governments, financial institutions, citizens and legal professionals around the world – and especially notaries; for example, when fulfilling our gatekeeping function.
The participants in the “Corporate Law and Anti-Money Laundering” module formed a geographically diverse group, which brought about a stimulating exchange of views and provided for valuable insights into the law of their countries of origin. Prof. Birgit Snijder-Kuipers collected the participants’ written contributions in this book.
