8.Confidentiality

RA Advisory is committed to maintaining the strictest standards of client confidentiality. All information received from a client in connection with an engagement is held in strict confidence and subject to legal professional privilege where applicable.

We will not disclose confidential client information to third parties except:

• With your prior written consent

• As strictly necessary to provide the services for which we are instructed

• Where required by law, court order or applicable professional regulatory obligation

• To prevent the commission of a crime or where permitted by our professional conduct rules

Communications sent to RA Advisory by email are not automatically protected by legal professional privilege until a formal engagement has been established. We recommend that sensitive matters be discussed by telephone or in person prior to formal instruction.

9.Anti-Money Laundering & Financial Crime

RA Advisory & Consultation Limited is committed to full compliance with all applicable anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF) and financial sanctions legislation, including:

• The Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (UK)

• The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (UK)

• EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives (where applicable)

• FinCEN regulations and applicable US federal AML requirements (for US-facing services)

• DIFC Anti-Money Laundering Module (for Dubai-facing services)

As part of our client onboarding process, we are required to conduct identity verification (Know Your Client - KYC), source of funds checks and ongoing due diligence on all clients and matters. We reserve the right to decline instructions or terminate an engagement if we are unable to complete these procedures to our satisfaction.

Where we have grounds to suspect that a transaction or matter involves the proceeds of crime, we are required by law to make a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) to the National Crime Agency (NCA) or relevant authority without notifying the client. This obligation takes precedence over client confidentiality in the circumstances required by law.

10.Conflicts of Interest

RA Advisory maintains a proper conflicts of interest policy in accordance with our professional regulatory obligations. Before accepting a new instruction, we conduct a conflicts check to identify any actual or potential conflict of interest with existing or former clients.

If we identify a conflict of interest, we will:

• Notify the relevant parties promptly and in writing

• Decline to act for one or more parties as appropriate

• Consider whether appropriate information barriers (ethical walls) can be established to manage the conflict, where permitted by applicable rules

Clients are encouraged to disclose all relevant information at the outset of an engagement to assist us in identifying potential conflicts. If you have any concerns about a potential conflict of interest, please contact us immediately.

The courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Legal Notice, subject to any mandatory applicable law provisions that may grant jurisdiction to other courts.
