About the Webinar

The Commonwealth Government recently released the second round of consultation to expand Australia’s anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism laws. This round of reforms will not only expand the regime to include lawyers, but it will also create additional obligations to verify the source of money deposited into their accounts. These reforms are poised to be one of the most significant change to practice management impacting the legal profession. To help lawyers consider what these reforms will mean for their own practices, this session shall:

  • Provide an overview of the changes anticipated to come into effect with respect to lawyers, along with other professional service providers, focusing on the new obligations of lawyers and challenges for compliance in practice
  • Consider how similar legislation has been implemented and the impact it has on firms in those jurisdictions, including New Zealand and the United Kingdom
  • Explore through case studies, examples of issues which have arisen in practice in other jurisdictions, such as the intersection with current VOI practices, verifying client instructions, the level of further investigation will be required etc
  • Discuss the role lawyers will be expected to play to overcome these implementation challenges and outline practical steps to prepare for the changes and where to go for further guidance
