Justice for dirty money: Seizing the opportunities to tackle corruption, economic crime and SLAPPs

The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice has key opportunities to tackle corruption and dirty money by:

  economic crime cases; and
• Protecting London’s reputation as a global legal centre by eliminating “SLAPPs” and promoting accountability for high ethical standards in the legal profession.
