About the Programme

No. of Public CPD Points: 1.0
Practice Area: Professional Skills
Training Level: General

Although lawyers have been subject to AML regulation since 1998, the level of awareness of lawyers’ responsibility concerning AML remains low. This seminar is an introduction for lawyers to the regulatory regime. Concepts such as “Beneficial Ownership” and “Politically Exposed Persons” (PEP) will be explained, as well as lawyers’ duty to conduct Due Diligence on their clients, and in appropriate cases, make Suspicious Transaction Reports. There will be a review of case studies and an opportunity to ask questions.
 
This seminar is targeted at young lawyers who wish to familiarise themselves in this area.
