In an era where local money laundering schemes hit $10b and others are described by seasoned investigators as “eye watering” law firms are already starting to think about what needs to be done to prepare for the AML Tranche 2 reforms in advance of the new legislation.  The time to start planning is now!
Join us for an insightful webinar hosted by Andrew Ham, a seasoned financial services lawyer with over 25 years of experience in Australia and the USA, and Milan Cooper, an experienced ex-Bain consultant, legal professional and innovator whose AML technology powers thousands of compliance professionals around the globe.
Andrew and Milan’s unique blend of legal expertise and practical industry knowledge offers invaluable guidance for navigating this complex landscape.
In this webinar, we’ll cover:

  1. Regulatory insight: Understand the key aspects of AML regulations and their specific implications for law firms including:
    e-conveyancing and Verification of Identity (VOI)
    Legal Professional Privilege
    Professional Conduct
    Suspicious Matters – reporting, getting paid, ending the engagement
  2. The dirty truth: How seemingly innocuous legal transactions can inadvertently fuel global crime syndicates.
  3. Red flags and alarm bells: Learn to identify potential money laundering risks in everyday legal transactions.
  4. Compliance without chaos: Strategies for implementing effective AML measures without disrupting your firm's operations.
  5. Tech-enabled compliance: Explore innovative solutions that transform AML compliance from a challenge into a strategic advantage.
  6. Lessons from experience: Valuable insights from firms that have successfully adapted to AML regulations.
