AMLS In Action - Legal Sector Guidance Review

AMLS in Action – Legal Sector Guidance Review
Fortnightly webinar series for Australian law firms
With Tranche 2 moving closer, the forthcoming Legal Sector AML/CTF Guidance will
play a crucial role in helping law firms understand what “good” looks like. But many
firms are unsure what to expect, how detailed the guidance will be, and what it will
mean for their systems, processes, and risk management.
In this session of AMLS in Action, we’ll walk through what the guidance is likely to
include, how it aligns with international standards, and what practical steps firms
should start considering now—long before the rules formally land.
