Sint Maarten obligations require certain things to be established before we can take on work. Setting them out here means nothing arrives as a surprise.
Engagement begins with the review. Once it is booked, a secure intake link is issued to you directly. Declarations are never collected through this website or by email.
Politically exposed person status, source of the funds involved, and ultimate beneficial ownership of any entity in scope. The intake saves as you go, so it can be completed at your own pace.
A valid identity document. Where an entity is involved, the articles of incorporation and a current Chamber of Commerce extract. Documents are uploaded through the same secure intake.
Once the documentation is reviewed and accepted, an engagement letter is issued setting out scope, fee and terms. Work begins when it is signed.
Declarations and documents are submitted through a secure intake, held with access limited to those working on your matter, and retained for the period we are required to keep them. Nothing is shared outside the engagement without your instruction or a legal obligation to do so.
We will never ask for a password, a private key, or credentials to any account. If a message appearing to come from us asks for any of those, it did not come from us.
The secure intake link is issued once the engagement is opened. There is nothing to complete before then.
