Anti-money laundering compliance for law firms

22 February 2012, London

With all the regulatory changes that the legal sector has gone through in the last few months it is important not to drop the ball on money laundering compliance. The fines for money laundering are still a huge risk to law firms and the individual within law firms.
The processes and procedures your firm follows should be under constant scrutiny in order to protect your firm. This event will give you the knowledge to review those processes and feel confident that you are protected. This conference gives you crucial insights into key trends in money laundering, and will equip you with deeper understandings of the key issues and challenges faced by law firms in this current climate. Legal Futures readers are entitled to a 20% discount on this conference – book by 16 December quoting reference ‘LF20′.
